This Texas cowboy melodrama is very all-American, and it’s a well-acted indictment of the bankrupting power of the American healthcare system.

“Ride” features another actor (Jake Allyn of “No Man’s Land” and “Someone Like You”) offering the current jack-of-all-trades Hollywood calling card: He’s written, directed, produced, and stars in “Ride,” a Texas cowboy melodrama. It’s very all-American. And by that, I mean it’s an indictment of the bankrupting power of the American healthcare system.
