This is one of the better Westerns to come down the pike over the last decade or so. The plot pits a small horse rancher against his rich neighbor, who abuses some of the former's horses left in his care as surety for a toll fee across the wealthy owner's land. It's a tragedy, so don't look for one of those "all is well that ends well" DVD's. You will find yourself pulling for the little guy, and perhaps leave with a sense of disgust for our legal system. I don't think this dvd is a widely known one, but if you like a good Western, this one ranks right up there with Broken Trail, You Know My Name, 3:10 To Yuma, Tombstone and any of Sam Elliotts' flicks. Treat yourself and get it!
This is a great movie about principles and ethics, but also about the downfalls of having too much pride. John Cusak does a wonderful job at playing a believable cowboy and that makes you root for him. Also great in this movie is John Goodman, a lawyer true to the law. Although originally an HBO movie, this could have been made for theater release and held it's own against movies such as Open Range. I love this movie for it's look of the old west, the authentic feel it had as well as the great storyline. If you are a fan of western movies at all, this is a great addition to any collection.
I thought The Jack Bull was an excellent Western movie. I liked the way the lead character held to his beliefs that people, all people, be treated equally and that the law,(Sheriff, Judge, etc.) needs to provide rightful justice to a wrong that has been done to a person. My husband had seen this movie and thought it was a real good, so he asked me to purchase it. It is a movie that we will watch again and again!
Great movie I was glad to find it had a great price! Service impeccable!
