'Excellent' Western with 91% Rotten Tomatoes score now streaming on Amazon Prime

A new Western has landed on Amazon Prime and it is already being hailed by critics and audiences as one of the standout releases of the year.

Broke (2025), starring Wyatt Russell, is being described as a modern masterpiece that blends the grit of the frontier with an unexpectedly emotional core. With a current Rotten Tomatoes score of 91%, it has quickly earned the title of a must-watch.

The story follows the brutal and unforgiving world of rodeo riders, where men risk everything for a fleeting moment of glory. On the surface, Broke is a film about bronco riding, but its themes go far deeper.

It explores obsession, human fragility and the compulsions that drive people into extreme danger - whether that's the arena, the mountains, or the pursuit of art itself.

Director Adam Moss strips the Western back to its bare essentials, delivering a stark and intimate drama rather than a traditional gunslinger tale.

Wyatt Russell's performance has been singled out for universal acclaim. Known for roles in Under the Banner of Heaven and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Russell steps into new territory here, portraying a man caught between his physical limitations and his need to prove himself.

One reviewer described his turn as "a tour-de-force performance, his raw, nuanced intensity anchoring every moment with electrifying authenticity".

Cinematography plays a vital role in the film's impact. Shot against sweeping plains and isolated rodeo grounds, the visuals are both stark and stunning.

The desolate landscapes reflect the emotional isolation of the characters, while the carefully crafted rodeo sequences immerse the audience in the physical toll of the sport. Coupled with a haunting score, the atmosphere is as unsettling as it is captivating.

One fan called it "excellent from beginning to end," praising its balance of spectacle and sensitivity. Another review declared it "an absolute triumph," noting its smart and emotional storytelling. Many were surprised by its depth, with one remarking: "You wouldn't expect a movie about rodeos to be so sensitive and so emotionally raw, but this movie is less about bronco riding specifically and more about the compulsions that drive people to do insane things."

The reception has been nothing short of glowing. "This movie is flawless from beginning to the end," another reviewer wrote. "I laughed and cried as I sat on the edge of my chair."

Broke (2025) is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
