KB B This was such an entertaining movie with plenty of action and drama. I don't recall this one but it's definitely worth the watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Michael W This HBO movie was great. Don Johnson, Craig Sheffer, Gabrielle Anwar, Rod Steiger, Bob Gunton, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. This true story about Army soldiers protecting horses from being slaughtered by their own men was dramatic, inspirational, and heartfelt. It's about defending your honor and protecting what you love. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a must see. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Csar C A very touching history, a movie about honor indeed but also about the gratitude and love for the animals, who are not just company or work instruments, they deserve to be treated with respect for all they give us, all this projected in a rather entertaining way, the movie keeps a good rythm and maintain the viewer interest. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/22/23 Full Review Willy W Amazing story. Really enjoyed it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/21 Full Review Audience Member ..First film I ever saw that made me feel Don Johnson could be an impressive actor if given a decent script ..(But having said that, I may have missed a few more films he starred in ...Have never seen "Knives Out" for example... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member It came across as contrived and unrealistic. Interesting premise though. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/12/17 Full Review Read all reviews
