War Horse

A horse named Joey is drafted into the British army during World War One.  Joey's journey takes him to occupied France. There he has an impact on many lives from German soldiers to French children.

This was an attempt at an epic drama. It failed miserably. This is not The Black Stallion nor is it Lawrence of Arabia. There is a lack of connection with the main characters or the horse itself.  It is the length of an epic drama, but lacks the depth or story of one.  This is clearly made for children and yet isn't interesting enough for kids or adults.

Great cinematography but certainly not Oscar worthy and was nominated for sentimental reasons alone.

** Rentable


Rated PG-13 (for war violence and language)
