Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Such a frustrating disappointment
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
They gallop around in their paddock. Not much else registered with me. I didn't identify with any of the characters. Nor, it seems, does anyone else. There was a fat, ugly, sheriff-type mayor, crooked-like man, probably corrupt, who was clearly the bad guy. At the end he had an improbable race, riding a horse, with the slender heroine riding another horse. She had made no impact on me at all, but she won the race. It was no surprise. Then the bad guy seemed to turn into a good guy, after all. The setting was pleasantly rural. The horses played their parts well. Can't think of a good reason for watching it. Harmless. Stockwell had a very strange little beard.
