Matthias Schoenaert's intense performance is the core of this strong character study about how a convict struggles to rehabilitate himself through learning how to tame a wild mustang on the prison grounds. As an actor, he is more than up to the challenge of commanding our attention for the entire film. One amazing sequence depicts the frightened horses being sheltered in the prison kitchen during a howling wind storm. The great Bruce Dern is showcased as the wise head trainer of the horses, and it is his best work since Nebraska some years back. This is the sort of movie teen viewers should be encouraged to see - a fine example of a family movie, if the family wants an alternative to the Marvel-Disney overblown vulgarities so widespread today.
