Editorial Review:
True story of rodeo legend Lane Frost, a bull-riding champion born to ride. Starring Luke Perry, Stephen Baldwin and Cynthia Geary. Directed by John G. Avildsen
Description of 8 Seconds:
The title refers to the time required by all rodeo cowboys to stay on a bull if they want a judge's score. For them, such a short time can seem like an eternity. The same is true of the beginning of this true story, a country tale of Lane Frost, a real-life, crowd-pleasing bullrider who rose to rodeo fame in the late '80s. The characters seem so irrepressibly good, so unreal, that the film comes out of the chute without a buck or much of a purpose. But Frost's story, and that of his relationship with his wife, Kellie (Cynthia Geary), eventually gains momentum. Luke Perry is an underrated actor, and he balances an "aw-shucks-ness" with an internal spark that makes that salt-of-the-earth stuff not so salty. When the film is finally over and the end credits show home movies and stills of the real-life Frost, you'll wish the ride was just a little longer. --Keith Simanton
8 Seconds Reviews:
True life classic 
2009-11-24 - This is a show worth watching! It really doesn't matter what age you are, you relate and understand without prejudice as to the real life issues that happen. It's the hard truth, but it is the truth!
Excellent!
2009-11-16 - This movie is incredible! Heart wrenching, especially because it is based on real life events. Too bad they didn't portray his father more accurately!
Love this movie...
2009-11-16 - I always enjoy a film or book that is based on a true story-- especially when it's well done! HA! I actually saw real footage of Lane and Tuff long before I ever watched the movie. Worth watching!!! Great acting, as well. Perfect flick for both guys and gals.
Moving classic...
2009-11-02 - Wonderful movie for the tender-hearted or the bull riding fans out there. I first watched this movie as a teenager and it is still as good now as it was then. Even my husband enjoyed it! The realities of fame and the hardship that marriage can sometimes be is acurately portrayed in this film. This is not just a western or a movie for "cowboys."
Good Seller 
2009-10-29 - I have not watched this movie but the seller did a great job of getting it here in a timely manner.
