Whether or not the events depicted really happened to Hopkins, it's still a damn fun story.

An exciting, colorful and very appealing movie.

... filled with cliches.
December 24, 2010
Formulaic, overly simple, too violent for tweens.

...the film's hold on the viewer dwindles steadily as it enters its progressively dull midsection...
April 09, 2004
An adventure that never met a cliche it couldn't saddle, mount and ride for a butt-numbing two hours and sixteen minutes.

It's a manqué of a rousing adventure tale and not the real thing. You're constantly aware of the gulf between how the movie wants to excite you and the halfhearted execution.

If you take it as historical fact, it's got a world of problems. But if you're just in the mood to be entertained, it can be a decent piece of Saturday afternoon escapism.

Even if the story were true, the film's events have been fictionalized beyond belief.
March 09, 2004
A hybrid of both traditional and revisionist contradictions.
April 25, 2007
The event around which the movie revolves is a desert mirage, since there is no record of any such race ever being staged. Nonetheless, those able to ignore this outrageous historical distortion might enjoy this triumph of an underdog aganst the odds.

Popcorn for us and oats for the horses, delivered by the tall drink of water that is Mortensen.
