It's too forced for my liking. I didn't feel a connection to the characters, nor did I really rate the performances of the cast. The premise isn't super watchable either. All just very meh, to be honest. Matt Dillon is OK in the main role of Tex, though it is safe to say his acting - thankfully - improved as he got older; as seen in 'Wayward Pines'. I can't say any of the other cast members did anything to remember. Not quite good enough, all in all. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review steve d The story has already been done to death. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member An endearing story of a young man and his love of horses. S.E. Hinton's novel is adapted into a delightfully good film about Tex (Matt Dillon), a teen living with his brother (Jim Metzler). This family drama is still a good and lighthearted coming of age tale.
