When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
This movie was so fantastic! Reminds me of a normal every day person, like me and my family, if we owned a racehorse. Terrible how they were treated at the pre derby party. This is a must see for horse/race lovers!
We enjoyed the original story as it played out on the race track, and this movie does not disappoint. It was truly a feel good root for the underdog type of film that anyone can enjoy. Bravo, and thank you for a wonderful evening's entertainment.
During the 2009 Kentucky Derby, long-shot contender Mine That Bird started in last place and wound up winning the race in an amazing, come-from-behind upset. "50 to 1" is the story of the thoroughbred's history-making victory and refers to the betting odds against his winning.The cast, including Christian Kane as Mark Allen, did an amazing job of bringing this wonderful & heart-warming story to life. I've watched it countless times by now and I get caught up in the action every single time. Still one of my absolute favorite movies! :-)
I rented 50 to 1 from Redbox because I wanted to see it first before I bought it to be sure I'd like it. Well, I loved it! I loved the acting by all in the film especially Skeet Ulrich and Christian Kane! I fell in love with Mine that Bird from the beginning of watching him and seeing the actual jockey, Calvin Borel, ride at the end of the movie was amazing! He knew exactly how to ride the horse to save his energy for the end to win the race. Even knowing how it ended didn't take away from the excitement of seeing it happen. The movie was very well done and I intend to buy it as soon as I am able. My daughter is 9 and a horse lover and I think she would very much enjoy watching this movie as well!
