[Luke Perry] looks capable of rising above the fanzine drivel and proving himself a real actor. But this isn't quite the movie.

Cowboy up! This movie was an amazing rendition of the life and premature death of Lane Frost, the youngest bull rider to be put into the rodeo hall of fame. Even Lane's mother said Luke Perry did an amazing job portraying her son Lane. The movie is exciting, eventful, sad and heartfelt all in one. A must see!!
