John Cusack always seems to play intriguing characters. In this movie he plays the lead character,John "Bull," who is stubborn and proud. When a bullying rancher treats him badly, these characteristics lead John Bull into trouble. The movie has many good lessons, but I found it hard to watch at times as I didn't agree with the actions of the main character and wanted him to handle his problems differently. All in all a good movie, but not always enjoyable.
