So much average
... View MoreFantastic!
... View MoreVery interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
... View MoreLet me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
... View MoreWe enjoyed the original story as it played out on the race track, and this movie does not disappoint. It was truly a feel good root for the underdog type of film that anyone can enjoy. Bravo, and thank you for a wonderful evening's entertainment.
... View MoreSomething almost no one will ask themselves. But a former Scream star and a former Angel regular meet up here to go riding. Or something like that. It's a decent movie about people who struggle to make a living but still pursuing a dream. The acting is also more than decent, the story develops nicely.You may like it more or less, though I was surprised about the voting average. It's higher than I expected it to be. I guess stories about animals still are something people like to watch. Horses are a good match too, because of what they represent (human values too, being cast aside, no one believing in them anymore and so forth). If that floats your boat, go for it, if not, better not watch
... View MoreI enjoyed the movie, mostly because I love horse racing. The main character, Chip Woolley comes across unlikeable and never redeems himself. This was a very interesting path chosen by the Director and it made me wonder if that's how the man is in real life. Hope not. Calvin Borel was amazing, and the historical footage they used of him was priceless. Major props to racetracks, race announcers, and corporations that held rights to the intellectual properties used in the film.Last thought, wasn't Bob Baffert a quarter horse guy running out Tucson, Arizona ? I can't imagine a quarter horse guy being down on "cowboys" like Mark Allen. I am no fan of Baffert but it seems like a disingenuous portrayal of the man.
... View MoreI dig stories about underdogs, and this is certainly in that vein. It's a feel-good film fit for the whole family. It features a superb cast in Christian Kane, Skeet Ulrich, and William Devane. And Calvin Borel, the actual jockey who rode Mine That Bird in the winning Kentucky Derby steals the show as he plays himself.I had to wait a long time to see this film, because it was in limited release when it first came out, but it was worth the wait. The cast, crew, and everyone involved with the film put a lot of love into this film. Great movie for family night or if you've had a rotten day and just want to put a smile on your face.
