Customer Reviews

The Ride... a great family film!
My son really loved this movie,I love it too...it is one of the family film genre that I will actually watch again and again...Michael Biehn...(Terminator,Aliens,Navy Seals) is fabulous as the "What is your definition of bottom...?" down and busted rodeo rider. He gives a right on the money performance without pulling punches from his nasty side,and neither does the rest of the cast get in to the too sickly sweet family film goo that we adults are want to avoid. You will recognise a number of faces (Jennifer O'Neill for one)and feel the filmm rates an "A" even though it was made in 25 days on a B budget...it doesn't show...give it a try...you'll love it too...

A modern classic for the entire family
Not often have I come across such an outstanding film. First of all Michael Biehn is my favorite actor & this film is one reason. His flawless portrayel of a washed up rodeo star trying to set his life straight is reason enough but this film also carries with it an important message of love. With it's Christian overtone it brings such a great feeling to heart & the scenery is breath taking. The dvd also contains a great behind the scenes documentary. It's one of those great movies that you laugh, cry, & cheer over and over again throughout the movie. A movie that just gets better with each viewing. Give it a chance, even if you're not religious, not into rodeos--it doesn't matter. It's so thoroughly enjoyable for everyone.

Escape to Reality
While much of cineamotography leaves out reality, or even worse highlights the very worse and dispicalble of mankind, this film produced by Billy Graham Ministries is the opposite.

It shows a man who is without God, and when his whole world crumbles in a declining profession, the bottom in inevitable. As God so often does, he takes this individual to a place where as Gomer of Hosea fame, the choice becomes obvious: back to the first love, God, or else.

I show this to my confirmation kids (age 13-14) and they just love it, and get so much out of it.

I believe you will to, and will profit much from this well done and touching story.
