I saw this movie when it premiered on Showtime. It was a Showtime original. I remember thinking, "a movie from the station that brings me Red Shoe Diaries, this has to be great." That was my main reason for watching it.
This is not your typical western. I'm not even sure if I would classify it as a western. When I think westerns, I think 'old west.' That's not the case with this movie. In fact the only things western about this movie are boots and rodeos. I'm not a huge fan of westerns, so this was a huge factor in my continuing to watch.
Clay Treyton(Kyle Chandler), gets arrested for a little drunk and disorderly, with a touch of vandalism. Once in jail, he befriends, Lattrell(Glenn Plummer), who, I guess you could say, has the hook up. With the help of, Lattrell, Cley, lands a job on the prison ranch where he forces himself on, Ry Weston(Jon Voight), a one time rodeo champion and life inmate.
I'll stop there. If I continue, it'll ruin it for you. I I can say, though, that this movie has something for everyone : action, adventure, laughs, crime, blackmail, romance and, oh yeah, rodeo.
Like I said, this is not your typical western. The film was beautifully shot. The rodeo scenes were some of the best I've ever seen. The story isn't complex and there isn't much to it, but it ties everything up into a nice neat little package which doesn't happen much. Whether you like westerns or not, this is a great movie and deserves an audience. Do yourself a favor and check it out, I sure did. My vote : 10.
