Hidalgo (DVD review)

Hidalgo (2004) starring Viggo Mortensen. Set in 1890, "Hidalgo" tells the story of a man and his horse, who enter a great race in the middle east called the Ocean of Fire. Horse lovers and children may enjoy this movie, but discerning adults will likely find little to care about. There were many scenes where I thought to myself, "nonsense." There is much that makes no sense in this movie; yet it has a certain grandiose flavor that a viewer could enjoy if he chose to ignore the flaws. Grade: C+
