I loved the Mustangs. I have always known that they were extraordinary , much stronger and more resilient that domestic breeds. However they really showed how incredible they are in this film. The riders, especially Johnny were immature and unseasoned. The mustangs have centuries on these idiots.

Challenge set...challenge met for all but one ?? Didn't understand Jonny's decision to bail at the final mile. Made him look childish, impetuous and a little vindictive. Loved the concept and the commitment and was rooting for the guys all the way. Not an easy journey. This movie shows not only the strength and determination of these 4 men but of the horses as well. I knew there was an issue between the wild mustangs and the ranchers but was unaware of the roundup and the grand herd of 50,000 wild horses being penned and waiting on adoption. I'm foreseeing euthanasia being used in the future to control the growing population. Makes me livid. Oh..and where is Ben Masters in the cast credits...HELLO!

I'm not a horse person, but I know a few who are concerned with the politics depicted in this film. It seems like a balanced representation to me. There is a very moving plot twist that seems unrecognized by a couple early reviewers here, and I'll admit that I missed it as well....it was pointed out to me the next day. Recall the early movie reference to one of the cowboy's grandfather's achievements. He was an old man who had climbed the highest summit on all but one continent, then fell just short of the summit of Everest while in his 70's. The cowboy(Johnny)quit the trail a mile short in honor of his grandfather's achievements. The grandfather appears and the end of the trail. Johnny tells him he's leaving that "mile" for good luck.
