Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Both in terms of the activities and characters depicted, Rank doesn't truly manage to sustain interest for the course of its feature-length running time. Jul 6, 2006 Full Review Jack Mathews New York Daily News That final night of competition is exciting stuff, capped by a heroic victory ride, but this is otherwise a plodding feature. Rated: 2/4 Jun 30, 2006 Full Review Kyle Smith New York Post It offers both eye-opening rodeo footage and surprisingly interesting tangents about the bulls (some of which are worth up to $150,000) and the fleet-footed bull fighters (formerly known as rodeo clowns). Rated: 3/4 Jun 28, 2006 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide If even one [rider] were more conspicuously flawed, the film might be more compelling. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 28, 2006 Full Review Uri Lessing eFilmCritic.com I found it pretty compelling stuff, but whether or not Rank grips you depends solely on whether or not bull riding grabs you by the horns.

Audience Member Not the best doc but fun to watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I am no fan of bull riding, nor do I have any interest in cowboys. But I know a good documentary when I see one. This is a superb look into the people, the life, the industry that is professional bull riding. Be prepared to wince a few times. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the most interesting and well made documentaries I have ever seen. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member pretty good....nice documentary!!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I finally got around to watching this tonight for the first time. An interesting watch. The filmmakers give a very good account of the world of bull riding. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A gripping and intimate view at the sport as well as a completely normal but at the same time very strange portrait of America Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
