That said, I don't think they got one "horsey" detail, and most of the real story, even remotely correct - the complaints about that type of thing from Haskin, Crist in their columns, etc. didn't even approach the reality in the film - it's almost as if they had no racing/horse world technical advisor at all on the set, let alone paid much attention remotely to the reality of the story.
Weird - still a very good movie! Wouldn't bother to see it again, though.

That was my concern with regard to my personal motivation to see the movie in the theatre.
I think my compromise is that I'm gonna contribute to the box office.....as everyone here should as a horse racing fan......and buy some tix onliine and then no-show.
I have a lot of football to watch this weekend anyhow. It's sometimes a burden to be an Oakland Raiders season ticket holder.
I'll watch the movie in the theatre when the hype and crowds wear down.
Or I'll just buy it and watch in my living room.
