Clifton Collins Jr. plays a veteran jockey uneasily facing the twilight of his horse racing career in the drama 'Jockey,' co-starring Molly Parker.
In today’s restlessly edited, underlit era of movies, faces don’t get a lot of worshipful real estate as those essential portals to a person’s soul. But veteran actor Clifton Collins Jr. has a serenely weathered mug that’s worth its dedicated running time in “Jockey,” a low-key indie set at a faded Arizona racetrack, as well as inside an aging rider’s swirl of joys and regrets.
The Jackson we meet is an easygoing man of commitment to a passion that — judging from the facts that he lives in a trailer behind a modest racecourse and can only afford the charitable medical advice of the horse veterinarian about his nagging pains — clearly isn’t about the money. At the track, his reputation precedes him, and his relationship with trainer-boss Ruth is tight and warm enough to resemble a cross between a friendship and a steady work marriage.
