8 Seconds

It used to be great fun to take the piss out of Luke Perry for his work on Beverly Hills 90210 but truth be told the guy can act and here you can really see it. 8 SECONDS is loosely based on the true story of rodeo star Lane Star and this film is just about as cowboy as you can get, It plays like a good country & western song, guy gets girl, guy drinks too much, guy loses girl, guy drinks too much, guy sobers up, guy gets girl back and then guy dies. I'm not much for these types of movies but I will admit it's well made and we get to see yet another Baldwin. in this case Stephen, doing what Baldwin's do best, drinking, fighting and womanizing. Moving story for the ladies, just be sure to have that box of Kleenex close at hand.
