best horse film I've seen

Rating: 9/10 (1 August 2005)

Seabiscuit tells the true story of an underdog who sparked hope during the great depression in America. He was a people's horse because he defied the odds to become a champion.
The story starts by introducing the different characters and giving some background on them. This is fairly slow to get going and some people may not enjoy it, however, as the film progresses you feel as though you are in with the characters and know what they are going through.
Tobey Maguire acts convincingly well as the jockey as this is a huge change from Spiderman. As you would expect, both Jeff Bridges and Chris Cooper give good performances as Seabiscuit's owner and trainer.
If you are not into horses or would rather see an action movie then this is not for you, though i think that after you have seen it you would agree that it is a great emotional family film which can tug at the heartstrings. i would recommend this to anyone and would say that you would, even if not admittedly, enjoy it.
