Movie Reviews of The Jack Bull
Movie Review: A REAL cowboy picture!
Summary: 5 Stars
Like the best of Jimmy Stewart's and Clint Eastwood's work this film shows both the action and adventure of being a cowboy along with the heartbreak that puts a hero in that situation. A great story showing how someone fighting for what's "right" can be clearly in the wrong themselves. This movie, apart from having some cool western style shooting, explores this dichotomy and shows that there are no clear or easy answers. I think it would be excellent for children to see as it is nowhere near "Hollywood" in that this film shows that actions do have consequences and doesn't value the rights to life and possession cheaply. HBO really does get behind some terrific films!Movie Review: John Cusack at his best!
Summary: 5 Stars
A hero is found in the average man, given no choice but to take the law into his own hands after the new laws of the west are found not to be for the poor. After losing too much and needing to have something for his son to believe in a horse trader goes after a rancher and still finds his own honor intact, even after death and tradegy ride along with him. John Goodman portrays the perfect judge and John Cusacks father Dick Cusack is a nice surprise as the Jury Foreman.(also wrote the screenplay)Movie Review: Genuine, no bull
Summary: 5 Stars
The storyline and its presentation makes you wonder if this is the way the West really was. So believable. Excellent acting by John Cusack, John Goodman (I think this is one of his best roles)and L.Q. Jones (long time character actor who always gives 110% is genuine as villian, Henry Ballard.) This picture is worth seeing both for the historical value of the real West and for the fine acting abilities of these fine actors.Movie Review: The best Western in years
Summary: 5 Stars
A big slice of Americana served up in a glorious fashion, this film shares its premises, some of its dialogue, and one of the songs with the movie "Shane." Even so, it unfolds quite differently, enough so to become a classic on its own merit. Cusack and Goodman are superb, the script is excellent, the scenery is breathtaking, and the ranchers look grungy like one might expect, but I won't give away any more. One word of caution, you may want to buy a copy. After renting it three times at 4 bucks a pop, I'm going to take the plunge and buy my own.Movie Review: THE WESTERN FRONTIER AS IT REALLY WAS
