Movie Reviews of The Jack Bull
Movie Review: This Jack's great, that's no Bull
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow. I've not seen very many westerns, truth be told. I can count the one's I've enjoyed on one hand. Tombstone, Unforgiven, and to a lesser extent, Silverado. But the Jack Bull tops them all (sorry, Clint). John Cusack plays a horse trader who is forced to leave two prized steeds with a spiteful land Baron because he can't afford the Baron's toll. When he returns to pick his horses back up, he finds them badly beaten and swaybacked, and the Indian worker he left with them was beaten and driven off. He wants amends and gives the Baron two weeks to have his horses returned to their former glory and his Indian cohort payed for his damages. The Baron refuses, and with no help from the local or federal law agencies, he takes matters into his own hands. In my opinion, this is how the Wild, Wild West really was, as every bit of this movie rings authentic. Cusack is amazingly good in one of his best rolls ever (among Say Anything and Grosse Point Blank), and John Goodman is equally as good as a no-nonsense judge. This is a good example of the price of taking the law into your own hands, and I think this one will become a staple in any film fan's, western or no, permanent video collection. I give this one five stars, and that's saying something seein' as how I ain't none too keen on westerns and all. Watch this movie. Buy it. You won't regret it.Movie Review: This Jack's great, that's no Bull

Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good basic western based on a true story. I don't know why it just isn't any better, Cusack is good, the other actors are decent but it just doesn't take off.Calgary is beautiful but the film just drags in the middle.Movie Review: An Excellent Lesson, still needed today
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie tells a great story of what men of character will do to uphold their principles. John Cusack's role is one of courage and above all it shows us what is really important in life. A man must never abandon his principles because it would be expediant. This story is very well done and well written and is a lesson for us all, that even when you are right, you won't necessarily win. The lesson of life is if you believe in it you also have to be willing to pay the price of the those beliefs.
