The Mustang

What’s striking about this is: as much as the main character must bond with a wily horse, the actor must also bond with the horse actor. That had to have taken lots of time and dedication. Overall, it’s a pleasant but dull prison-western driven by themes of captivity and rehabilitation. It’s never ham-fisted or insincere, but it also plays it pretty safe in most of the scenes – checking the “family film” box, which is funny because it’s rated R. See it if you like horses.
