The Jack Bull (1999 TV Movie)
8/10
Some things are worth risking your life over.
27 February 2002
Excellent! And YES, and excellent message! Some things are worth risking your life over. Some things are greater than your own life. Myrl Redding lived by that. Seems, these days, that living as long as possible and avoiding harm is more important than standing for what's right. A fundamental characteristic that polarizes humanity. I don't think the film at all suggests Redding to be innocent of some wrongdoing. I think it exhibits the contrary. That's another thing I like about it. And the dialog was not too 'contemplated' or florid, the overall authenticity of the film, setting, costumes, etc... was very well done. "The Jack Bull" may not rate as an epic film, but I think the story does. Well done Mr. Cusacks (and friends)!
