Good historical film

Rating: 8/10 (5 August 2003)

An effective historical tale about the race horse SeaBiscuit, features solid work by veteran actors Jeff Bridges and Chris Cooper as well as a solid turn by Tobey Maguire.. While slightly overlong (I think they could easily have trimmed down the opening historical stuff considerably) the film is involving and well made.. You are always interested in the characters and what is happening. Definitely good filmmaking here. GRADE: A-
