    Really loved the story. Things that happen in a family that just are just SO hard to get through. Really hit home in this family. Like they say.. When it gets too hard to stand, it is time to kneel. All thanks to God.

    Good premise and story, execution of it was a bit off though. Some weird editing, and a few scenes had some of the worst acting I have ever seen. The two leads were good at least. I respect what angel studios tries to do with their films. Worked in some ways in this film,…

    Always a fan of Neal McDonough I really wanted to like this more. But some times the hard headed grumpy my way or the highway gruff older man character I find hard to sympathize with.

    Totally unbelievable movie with no reality. The plot is predictable as in the hero always wins regardless of the odds. There is a lot melodrama which has no bearing on the scene or the plot. Total waste of time. No wonder the theater was totally empty.

    Great Movie, Exciting, promoting Sportsmanship, and Moral Values. Need More Movies like this and I'd attend the movies on a regular basis.

    storyline was good but the movie was slow and at times just had scenes that were unnecessary and didn't add much to the film. Acting outside the two male leads was subpar and forced at times. I received these tickets for free and this is my honest opinion. My friend didn't…

When all is said and done, the movie manages to juggle several moving parts with incredible graceful balance.

For those who appreciate uplifting stories with spiritual undertones, it delivers exactly what’s expected—and sometimes, God’s blessing is enough.

The story’s conventional beats (the get-back-in-shape montage, the bad news delivered at a critical moment) cohere into a wholesome journey of long-delayed healing. The inclusion of the wonderful Mykelti Williamson, as Joe’s longtime friend and rodeo partner, injects a buddy-movie vibe that anchors the action in riding bouts that are smoothly thrilling without being punishing.
