I’m personally not sure that I’m going to drop the $12 it takes to get in to see this film. I doubt I’ll ever see another horse movie that inspires me like Seabiscuit did. Kudos to Viggo Mortensen for taking a role like this one to follow up his huge Lord of the Rings success. Here are what some of the reviewers are saying:
“Never quite settles into its paces.”
— Lisa Schwarzbaum, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY“There is enough compelling adventure, awesome cinematography and dynamic stunt work involving horses to keep one entertained.”
— Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER“A sporadically entertaining adventure movie that is hampered by poor pacing, a badly focused screenplay, and cheesy special effects.”
— James Berardinelli, REELVIEWS
