5.0 out of 5 stars I am not a big rodeo fan, July 5, 2003

This review is from: Painted Hero [VHS] (VHS Tape)

However, I am a big Dwight Yoakam fan. Actually, you don't have to be either to enjoy this little film. Dwight never lets his audience down and this film is no exception.

Yoakam, as a rodeo clown, confronts more than the bulls in 'Painted Hero' and the storyline deals with much more than a weekend on the rodeo circuit.

This movie addresses a man facing his past and colliding head on with his future. Small town political corruption, old family secrets long buried, newer family secrets recently encountered, a murder mystery, and of course the rodeo as a backdrop combine to fill this story with excitement, romance, and drama.

The soft, understated, down-home acting style of Dwight Yoakam always make you think you are just waching Dwight, as well....just Dwight. In reality that is the secret of Dwight's talent. Behind that easy-going, quite, good-old-boy demeaner is an intelligent, humorous, and very talented musician, singer, director, and actor. In this movie his acting talent shines while the story entertains.

This is an under-exposed, under-rated film that deserves better. Take a ride on the ups and downs of the 'painted hero', Vigil's, emotional return to his old hometown with its friends, enemies, secrets, and love all waiting to just 'throw him off' and you too.

I have watched this movie several times now and I just simply love it. Of course, I truly enjoy Dwight's acting and his music, oh and his looks too. :-) I like to watch Rodeo's and this movie having Mr. Yoakam in it as the tease he is, was a major delight. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

This review is from: Painted Hero (DVD)

this was a good movie. I didnt know what to expect since I had never seen any of his movie work, but I was really impressed. Very touching scenes and you can see his natural talent in acting. I recommend others to purchase.
