The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

so the movie was kinda boring with a bit of over showing the emotion just to the attention of the audience with the emotion trigger but I didn't work out much. It was the same old story and everything was so predictable. I think if you are wasting money and time on the production of a movie get some good script from a good writer .there will be plenty waiting for an opportunity

I really like Baillee Madison's work, so I was really looking forward to this. But this movie is genuinely the worst movie I have ever seen. And I know that is very harsh, but it is undeniably true. The script is very dry and cheesy, and the acting is incredibly stiff. In general I feel as though the actors are talented, but they just have a really awful script to work with. I don't know if it was because she was the only other lead besides Bailee Madison, but the girl who played Savannah was very stiff and unnatural. There were times when the scenes with her would be flat out cringe worthy, because of her stiffness. She seems like she has a lot of potential, so I hope she works on her acting. And that also goes with the other girls. And honestly everyone. Also the "bad girls" were just girls that wore put together outfits and heavy makeup, and acting out a little bit???? And the "good girls" wore minimal makeup and lighter clothing. I get that there trying to show an obvious difference between the "good" and "bad" girls, but did they really need to use makeup and clothes to distinguish the characters??? I also feel like there were a lot of could lessons that good have saved the movie, but they just flat out fell through. At least they have pretty good diversity?????

Oh my lord, everything about this movie was inaccurate. From the medical issues with the horse that died, how the rode (which literally made me walk away), how cliché and unrealistic the way the teenagers interact with one another, and the use of inaccurate military jargon, situations, uniforms, and actions were that I almost couldn't finish this movie. They didn't spend much if any time on research on military, equestrian, or on how actual teenagers act. Do not waste your time on this movie, the story is cheesy, the lines cliché, and the message predictable. Whoever thought to let this movie be released needs to be fired. My friend who did drill team and won nationals 3 times in a row, I've owned, ridden and shown horses for 14 years and with my military grandfather watched this movie and all we did was laugh and groan at how awful and inaccurate it was.

I really wanted to like it because I am a Bailee Madison fan, and I think she is a great actress. But I don't understand why she surrounds herself with actors that just aren't that great. The one that played her friend Savannah needs work and it was a pretty big role for someone that just isn't ready for a role that big. Is it just as case of not having the money to hire professional actors. The idea of the story was good but the "actors" ruined it.
