Review of The Rider (2018) by Sonrisas — 10 May 2018
Good points: 1) Movie provides an inside look at Bronco riding and the young men who love it. We see the tremendous heart and passion that riders have for their sport--even in the face of debilitating injuries suffered.
2) There is a nice family story here. Bad points: 1) the acting is a bit better than in Clint Eastwood's recent film, "The 15:17 to Paris" about the foiled terrorist attack, but both movies suffer from so so acting due to using the real people who went through the life situation.
2)the movies drags at times with slow pacing; 3) I did not experience the wrenching gut punch of emotion described by the reviewers--perhaps my expectations were too high. The movie was just okay for me; not sure what all the buzz is about.
