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

Director John G. Avildsen's biopic of Lane Frost captures a soft, melancholic tone that mirrors the quiet strength of its subject. Go to Full Review

Wade A Oct 28 Whataburger product placement simultaneously silly and perfect. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 13 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Toastee C Aug 10 the critics absolutely hate rural American films that have an organic success like 8 Seconds. this is absolutely a great movie and it's based on a great American story, though tragic ending. This is the culture they hate, Christian rural American and its obvious! See more Edith F Jul 31 8 Seconds is more than just a rodeo movie, it's a deeply emotional, inspiring tribute to the life of legendary bull rider Lane Frost. The film perfectly captures the grit, passion, and heart that define the rodeo lifestyle, while also diving into the personal challenges Lane faced along the way. Luke Perry delivers a powerful performance, bringing both charm and vulnerability to the role. The storytelling is raw and honest, with just the right balance of adrenaline-pumping action and heartfelt drama. The cinematography makes you feel every bump, bruise, and triumph, and the soundtrack fits the tone beautifully. Even if you're not a fan of bull riding, this movie will rope you in with its authentic spirit and emotional depth. A must-watch for anyone who appreciates stories of courage, resilience, and chasing your dreams, no matter the cost.
