Review of Hidalgo (2004) by Dawdlingpoet — 24 Apr 2022

This film is ok. Its supposed to be based on a true story but its obviously hard to know how, if at all, accurate it is. Its pretty typical for an American film of this type - the down and out, underdog who comes out fighting. I thought it was pretty cheesy. I liked the various shots of characters/contestants silhouettes against the colourful desert sunset. Its watchable and mildly interesting but I wouldn't say it its anything special as such. The performances are ok but no more.

I wouldn't go out of your way to see it as such, no.
