I was pleasantly surprised by this flick - rented it last night when there was little else to choose from and really wasn't expecting anything. It's the autobiographical story of Lane Frost who won the bull riding portion of the rodeo circuit a few years ago. Luke Perry had the title role, Cynthia Geary (from Northern Exposure) played his wife, and Steven Baldwin was the best buddy. I was surprised by Luke - he seemed quite natural in this role - I guess the fact that grew up in the mid-west helped - anyhow, I thought he was much better in this role than as "Dylan" on BH90210. Good soundtrack by Bill Conti (I think) and some good action scenes of the bull riding. It was obvious that a lot of the work was done by stunt men, but there were also a few scenes where you could tell Luke and Steven were riding - wonder how much training they had to go through? *** spoiler**** the ending really got to me - I must have been in a PMS mood last night, but all I was bawling all through the closing credits when they were showing the film and photos of the real Lane - what a tragedy.

Rented this last weekend. Was not a bad flick. You didn't have
PMS the ending WAS sad and the photo's of the real Lane Frost were
a nice way to end this film...really got emotional

I thought this movie wa o.k. but like the previous noter, I really
liked the music and pictures of the real Lane Frost at the end. It was
a nice tribute. Sad though.

Luke Perry actually worked with Lane's widow to get into character
with Lane. He didn't want to make any mistakes.
I, too, cried at the end. But I shouldn't have, I already knew the
story.
