I recently saw "Let It Ride" again, and I will incur the wrath of the board by saying it's an OKAY movie with some jarringly bad elements. The music in particular is awful and dated. David Johansen is terrible, as are some of the other supporting players. It's always great to see Jennifer Tilly show off her...range...as an actress (she is good in that movie "Bound"). Richard Dreyfuss is pretty good, but in general everything is just WAY over the top. The scenes where everybody at the track is focused on Trotter are completely retarded (with the exception of his tantrum in the Jockey Club). For me, it plays a lot more like TV than a real "movie." I think this movie gets credit for venturing into some great subject matter, but it falls short at the finish line... HP
