Broke

Wyatt Russell and Dennis Quaid give a top notch relationship through a rugged, restrained intensity as an aging and faded rodeo rider and emotionally distant father, adding depth to their fraught dynamic. It could be argued as a played out stereotype, but I think it still added to the character background in a meaningful manner. Director Carlyle Eubank's debut is visually striking and thematically rich, with a haunting score and authentic atmosphere. Though the pacing lingers at times, the film's raw honesty and poetic structure make it a standout. A must-watch for fans of character-driven dramas.

This film is a grounded and realistic portrayal of a Rodeo athlete but still maintains that artistic and cinematic magic. This film proves to be both emotionally provoking as well as inspiring!

Furthermore this film honors the American culture of rodeo and ranching as well as free thinking and art. It brings back an older generation film feeling of telling a deep and intimate story that will resonate with anyone but it is set against a modern backdrop. It also indicates to the audience how alive and well western culture still is.

I truly believe this is an engaging must see film for anyone and everyone!

This film left me thinking more about it when it was over. I guess my score is a bit harsh. I'm sticking with it though because it made me feel desperate & futile whist I was watching it and reminds me of troubles I have with my own children. Maybe that's the point of filming such stories. There are some predictable story lines, some direction you might not expect. Yes, I guess this is a modern day Western. I love the locations and the cinematography - go on, it's worth a watch. No spoilers here but it could have ended in a number of ways. I pondered why this had scored so highly on the Prime reviews and concluded it's all very credible, could happen and the relationships are well worked through.

We liked this movie. We liked the characters. We liked the actors. We love Rodeo and and the cinematography was great. All That said ... it just drug.

Perhaps it was the directing we don't know. We did feel the emotions, even cried, and loved Ali for True. The ending suggests his "growing up" through the experience... but didn't sell it. Some how I really wanted it to be so good. But, I'd have to recommend it with caveats.

Acting was great, story was interesting and held my attention for the whole movie. I wasnt really looking for drama but it wound up being worth it in the end. This story has a western feel with the music and scenery showcasing what could be real life without any underlying messaging that would not have fit the characters like so many movies try to do today. So many movies lose me when something or someone is introduced because the writers or directors want to make a social statement that doesn't fit the storyline. This movie doesn't have any of that and is just pure entertainment with a stellar performance by all the main characters. Seems like my boy Danger Dave may have been an uncredited rodeo clown in this movie.
