. . . a brilliantly written, exciting, entertaining film

Rating: 8/10 (25 July 2003)

Talk about a movie with heart! There's maybe a dozen great underdog films on my list: Rocky, Hoosiers, The Natural, Brian's Song, On the Waterfront .. . Rudy. Well slide those ponies on over: Seabiscuit's in town and he's a keeper.
This is a solid 8 out of 10. It creeps out of the gate with plodding primary character backstory . . . costing it 2 points for telling me more than I needed to know to understand the life and times imposed by depression. When Biscuit bursts onto the screen, the pace gallops to the last frame. I laughed, I cried, I hoped  I did everything I was supposed to do as the underhorse breezes down the road life dealt him.
A brilliant, entertaining film. Bet on Seabiscuit to win at the box office. Now get up, grab the car keys and see this on the big screen.
