Wow! I had seen "Sense and Sensibility" and "The Ice Storm", and totally loved "Wo hu zang long" but I had never heard of "Ride". It is a beautifully-filmed movie, with outstanding performances by Maguire and Jewel. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers reprises his Steerpike role from Gormeghast, but kills people with guns in this one. He's perfect.
James Schamus has writing credits for this, "Ice Storm" and "Wo hu zang long", so there's definitely continuity in the ideas of honesty and virtue in the face of adversity and anguish.
Jewel is a total babe (duh).
