      Audience Member Terrorists in Ireland steal the champion of the national horse race, a colt named Shergar, in order to gain ransom. People they leave the horse try to save it from the thugs and get in trouble. Before police fin them all, not much happens. The director decided that it's better to show how inarticulate chracters get engaged in pretentious, senseless dialogues with overblown pauses, instead of treating us to the scenes with riding beautiful horses. The stupidity of the film and its aimlessness climaxes in a disappointing end.The only interesting thing is that Michey Rourke keeps meaningful silence throughout the film and before too long, gets shot. Good riddance, I never liked the guy. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member True story about a world famous racehorse that got stolen in Ireland. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member C'est l'histoire du grand-père de Sherlove, ma première jument !!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Johanna F Not a great film, but entertaining enough. I would bet that many a young girl who loves loves LOVES horses would adore this movie. The most interesting thing about this movie is the fact that it is based upon the actual kidnapping of the horse, tho' they added a lot of things that weren't there in the actual history. It's cute and entertaining if you love horses. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/08 Full Review Audience Member one of the best horse movies ever Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I like this movie more for the location and cinematography than the story line, although the love story within it is sweet.
