Let me start with the good part of the film, the single, solitary good feature to this film: John Goodman. He was great. Slightly miscast, but his performance is spot on. Here's a guy who knows how to suspend disbelief.
On to the mess that is "The Jack Bull." Accountants and attorneys had major input into the development of this film. That's the only way to explain a politically correct old west Wyoming. And let us not spill too much blood and guts in a shoot 'em up semi-action pic, 'cause that's too darned expensive! Did I mention this movie is HORRIBLE? I like John Cusack. He's great. Not in this film. My wife described it best, "His lips are too girlie." He looks nothing like a Western-movie hero. He's got that soft-handed cityboy thing going on.
The plot is littered with holes you could drive trucks through three abreast. The emotion is muted, nay, suppressed.
Pass on this movie even if you have a free video rental card from your Aunt Sadie.
score 1/10
