Thoughts
While I appreciate the fact that his love of horses was what brought Viggo to this movie, as a viewer, I found this film quite boring.
It was mostly an underdog sports movie taking place in a race full of danger and treacherous people. Basically, everyone was against him, so there wasn't a sole minor character to care about.
Viggo carried the movie as best as he could. I thought his interactions with the horse 'character' was the best thing going. Also, some of the horse-related special effects were well done and believable.
What I would change
No idea.
