Lack of good storyline.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Was it done with "silly money"? Or is the script one of these peaces of paper that goes round in Hollywood for 20 years until someone says "Ok, lets do it?" I really have no idea. But this movie is so uninspired, so long-winded, so much missing a plot thats worth its name, it is just impossible to find what this movie is about. There are two rare moments when characters dare to say the truth and put some fine acting to the story with doing the unexpected. But unfortunately this is not enough. And what is most, this is definitely no "Seabiscuit", a movie that is set in a similar way and subject and is sharing even one of the actors (Jeff Bridges). If you have the chance to see the latter, grab it. If you have to see Simpatico, leave it!

Due to the manner in which premium cable works, I tried to watch this stinker over and over during the course of a weekend. It is without any doubt one of the worst films that I have ever subjected myself to watching. Calling it incoherent is a compliment. I like horses, I've ridden horses, this movie makes even the horse look bad. By the way, what are the odds of any modern woman going horseback riding in a slinky gown? What are the odds of staying awake while this stinker is on your bedroom TV? I'd say that both are one in whatever the current global population. I am in full agreement with the reviewer who compared it to a stick in the eye. I'd compare it to a stick in the eye and root canal without Novocaine.

In the aftermath of a horse-racing scam, a box of incriminating photographs appears to be the trump card. But to take possession of the photographs is also to take responsibility, to accept the burdens of the past; and no-one is exactly sure what it is they really want. One can see how 'Simpatico' might have made a good play, but it's an ordinary film. There's a stagey feel throughout, and the introduction of flashbacks into the basic structure is unilluminating. Of a starry cast, Nick Nolte has played ruined more interestingly elsewhere; Sharon Stone has little to do; while I always find Jeff Bridges annoying, and do so here as well. The real stars are Albert Finney, who sparkles in his role; and an exceptionally beautiful horse.

I really enjoyed watching "Simpatico". I liked it so much I bought the movie. Jeff Bridges, and Nick Nolte are at their best. At times my heart did bleed for Nolte. Yet Jeff's character too drew my sympathy, but it was the horse who I felt the most saddened for. Even though it's an excellent movie, I would caution a parent against letting a child watch it, if the child was unable to tell the difference between reality, and fiction. It pulls at the heart strings in much the same way as "Old Yeller". It covers love, lies, greed, and true friendship in one brilliantly wrapped package. It is a beautiful, heart warming, and intriguing movie. A must see if you are a Jeff Bridges fan.
