Bridges is a genius, and Seabiscuit succeeds.

Rating: Null/10 (28 June 2004)

Seabiscuit is the name of a horse who, against all odds, continues to race and with the help of a new owner, jockey, and trainer, uplifts the spirits of recently-depressed Americans. The stories of the three men are brought together beautifully and tragically, and emotions are high flying from start to finish. A masterpiece of acting and editing, and perfectly portrays self-help and outside influence in getting through tough times. Jeff Bridges' performance is nothing short of extraordinary, and Cooper is supportingly great as always. Maguire pulls off his troubled character with minor flaws, and his role is welcomed. 4/5 Stars.
