The Jack Bull tells the story of Myrl Redding, a Wyoming horse trader who clashes with Henry Ballard, a fellow rancher, after Ballard abuses two of Myrl's horses and their Crow Indian caretaker, Billy. When Judge Wilkins throws out Myrl's complaint, the war he wages to force Ballard to nurse the emaciated animals back to health escalates into a vigilante manhunt, murder and the possible defeat of Wyoming's bid for statehood.

He is, like most of his characters, an unconventional hero. Wary of fame and repelled by formulaic Hollywood fare, has built a successful career playing underdogs and odd men out.

It's watchable. But that doesn't mean you should watch this instead of plenty of other better westerns. I liked Goodman in his supporting role.

This cowboy version of Von Kleist's novella "Michael Kohlhaus" (also the inspiration for Ragtime's Coalhouse Walker) is complex, nuanced and well-acted. Cusack does a good job in the lead.

Intense, wonderful, deep, has action, politics, and stubborn personalities. Love.
