Rodeo
It’s shades of “Fast & Furious” when Julia runs away from her dismal life to explore her passion for motorcycles. She poses as a buyer for a bike being sold online & steals it. She ends up stumbling upon the high-octane world of urban Rodeos, illicit gatherings of cycle/quad enthusiasts showing off their bikes & daring stunts. But when an accident occurs & the police arrive, she gets taken in by a bike gang running an secret chop shop. She gets drawn in deeper & involved in more riskier tasks. Will she ride off into the sunset or crash & burn? This is a French film with subtitles. The French speak fast & I️ read slow so it was challenging for me to keep up.
Alien gives it 2 “for passion, not money” stars out of 4.
Hot tempered and fiercely independent, Julia finds escape in a passion for motorcycles and the high-octane world of urban 'Rodeos' -- illicit gatherings where riders show off their bikes and their latest daring stunts. After a chance meeting at a Rodeo Julia finds herself drawn into a clandestine and volatile clique and, striving to prove herself to the ultra-masculine group, she is faced with a series of escalating demands that will make or break her place in the community.
