“The Rodeo Thief” (**1/2 out of four) was a leisurely melodrama about an injured bull-rider (Thom Callum) who sadly realizes that his best days are behind him and starts to fall on hard times and decides to steal roping horses for a brutal loan shark (Robert Keith) but this leads to various complications for him involving the criminal underworld and potentially jeopardizes his career and his life. Nicely understated attempt to mix a neo-Western story with a violent melodrama; it moves slowly at times and doesn’t quite hit the bullseye but is held together (and made worthwhile) by Callum’s rock-solid performance, some beautiful scenery vistas from Anthony Gutierrez, and Ian McHugh’s stirring music score.
