The greatest movie ever made..!
Strictly average movie
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
View More** spoiler alert ***I found it disturbing some of the places that they road the horses. To purposely ride thru the cactus and to push the horses up such steep, rocky terrain is wrong. The riders I know would not have placed the animals in these bad situations. To watch the horse fall down the rocky slope they pushed him up was very sad and wrong. Horses died. They didn't seem too upset by the deaths. Wild horses or not, I don't think that they took proper care of the animals. I do not believe that both sides of the wild horse issues were shown. The population of wild horses continues to grow. I believe that our public lands are being mismanaged. This movie was a little one sided. On a positive note, there was some beautiful scenery.
View MoreI'm not a horse person, but I know a few who are concerned with the politics depicted in this film. It seems like a balanced representation to me. There is a very moving plot twist that seems unrecognized by a couple early reviewers here, and I'll admit that I missed it as well....it was pointed out to me the next day. Recall the early movie reference to one of the cowboy's grandfather's achievements. He was an old man who had climbed the highest summit on all but one continent, then fell just short of the summit of Everest while in his 70's. The cowboy(Johnny)quit the trail a mile short in honor of his grandfather's achievements. The grandfather appears and the end of the trail. Johnny tells him he's leaving that "mile" for good luck.
View MoreI feel they did a great job with the film it was truly a road trip of a lifetime with no road! It was very informative regarding the history of mustangs on the plains as well as what's being done for them today. There should be more things being done to get the horses adopted out. The riders showed tremendous determination to complete the journey through all of the mishaps. Masters is to be commended for putting this trip together as well as his maturity by avoiding another conflict with Johnny when he could have called him out. I do feel however, that the conflict of the two should have been omitted and for Johnny to quit a mile before the end showed very poor judgment on his part and betrayal to the whole crew.
View MoreBeautifully made documentary, with stunning scenery. Not many people will understand the trust it takes for a mustang to let a human sit on his back..so that alone is incredible. I loved the music, the scenery, the friendship, the scary crazy trails and the mustangs!! A movie everyone will enjoy, you don't have to be a horse lover to like it. It is not one sided and talks to various people about the plight of the mustang. I could watch this over and over and I hope they release the score to the movie. It makes you want to get out into the wilderness, the footage from the Grand Canyon is absolutely breath taking. The Cowboy Val is so like able and the donkey Donquita steals the show!! Thank you for letting us come along on this wonderful adventure.
