Movie Reviews of In Pursuit of Honor
Movie Review: Inspiring Tale (small spoiler alert included)
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this movie to be well-done and inspiring in content. On the whole, the characters were believable and genuine. Don Johnson shines in this film as a character whose integrity does not always get the best personal results, but you find yourself totally liking this person. Rod Steiger could have stayed home for this one - he was so wooden and half-hearted (even down to wearing a ridiculous medallion that was totally out of context) that I literally cringed every time he came on the screen. The rest of the cast were also very good and fit well into the storyline. I thoroughly enjoyed this film (although the scene where they shoot the first batch of horses is very hard to stomach) and have watched it many times. Excellent!Movie Review: Sad but good
Summary: 5 Stars
I had seen this movie by accident. I am not a big Don Johnson fan so wasn't really all that interested in it........ However,
he was old and worn and probably gave one of his best perfomances just 'cause he wasn't slick.
The subject matter is touchy: destroying perfectly good creatures due to gov't. stupidity, policy and cost cutting.
It was an "interesting" time in history. But good men stood on their morals and loyalty to their "comrades in arms" even at the cost of their jobs perhaps lives.......
Current politicians might watch this just to see honor instead of
surrendering ethics to gain power.
But that's just my opinion :)
Movie Review: Wonderful--Based on True Story!
Summary: 5 Stars
This true story about the dissolution of the Calvary and the governments plan to systematically shoot the horses that were all important to he soldiers survival has you cheering when the "soldiers who know it is wrong" decide to do something, but have no clear plan what that plan is or how to get the herd of horses still alive to safety. Don Johnson is fabulous as the soldier who has gotten himself in trouble before because he has done the "honorable thing" and not just followed orders. I seldom watch videos over again, but I rented this video and then purchased it so I could watch it again. It is well worth the second, or more viewing.Movie Review: Don Johnson's best
Summary: 5 Stars
This little known movie (a true story) shows government bureaucracy and heartless bungling at its worst, as rather than sell or give away 400 horses no longer needed by the soon to be mechanized army, the govt. chooses to destroy them. Don Johnson plays a grizzled career army officer who throws away that career and embarks on a long trek to save the horses, in effect stealing them and running for Canada with them and several other army men equally disgusted with the idea of slaughtering the animals. Johnson is not his usual suave, glib self in this movie, but his portrayal of the disillusioned army man is excellent.Movie Review: Worth your time!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you love horses, Calvary or pre-WWII military you really need to watch this movie, It's worth your time!
Sadly, based upon real historical events, this movie has breath taking natural beauty, horses and accurate militaria. Everything from the horses tack, weapons and tactics are faithfully observed. Don Johnson is followed by a very talented supporting cast from Rod Steiger as the grizzled former CO to Craig Sheffer as the fresh West Point Lieutenant. Follow this great movie as they range from Mexico to Canada!
