'Broke' Review: Not Quite Enough Rocky Mountain Highs in This Rodeo Drama
In Broke, rodeo riding is a pliable metaphor for the human experience. Getting back up after a disappointment and persevering through life’s ups and downs are themes explored in major films about rodeo, like 8 Seconds starring Luke Perry, The Riderdirected by Oscar-winner Chloé Zhao, and, well, that’s mostly it. Rodeo riding is not the most mainstream topic for a film, maybe because it alienates city slickers who are turned off by it. So, almost by default, writer/director Carlyle Eubank’s Broke is the most notable rodeo-centered film in years. This is due to its cast, topped by “dime store Captain America” Wyatt Russell and the always reliable Dennis Quaid.
