bkoganbing I was really surprised with the amount of talent in Wild Horses that this would turn out to be such a nothing film. I expected a whole lot more considering who was involved.Luciana Pedrazzi of the Texas Rangers inherits a cold case missing persons file and it was of a young kid who was gay and who worked breaking Wild Horses for local rancher Robert Duvall Duvall has three sons one of them James Franco is openly gay not at all to the liking of good ole boy Duvall.Duvall has an understanding with one of the crooked deputies about letting this one slide. Pedrazzi comes up against some real hostility here with local law enforcement.Apparently in the years gone by Duvall and Franco reached an understanding. His brothers are cool with him, so what was the problem especially since Franco had moved away?The whole cast faxed in their performances, but the casting of Pedrazzi was horrible. A role someone like a Sissy Spacek might have made something of is just bad in Pedrazzi's hands. Since she's a Duvall family member she got in this family production. And the boy's death from years ago wasn't even a crime. So what was all the coverup about.Even an actor as good as Robert Duvall does a clinker every now and then.

rangerscustoms I have nothing but love and respect for Duvall, he has always been one of my favorites! Franco, and Hartnett are great as well.Now for my review.That female Ranger, the kids, and the latino mother asking about her son, as well as the fake tough guys.. Terrible actors, and have absolutely no business on screen!!! Obviously not smart enough to remember their lines, and always reading from cue cards. I made my IMDb account, just to leave this review. Absolutely the most horrid acting I have ever seen!!! Shame on you Robert for putting most of these fools in your movie, and especially the two Rangers!! Sheesh!!! I get that you are very old, and got yourself a pretty young ole lady, and she probably forced you to put her in a movie.. You should have told her no haha.. She is terrible!!!! She should stick to whatever she did before, cause obviously acting isn't for her.. Maybe underwear model? But actor?? Maybe as an extra walking by and zero lines! Just wow.... I wanna turn the movie off, and only 45 minutes into it, but I figure I may as well finish and get my money's worth since we bought the movie... I will be sure to avoid any movie Robert writes, directs, or has her on. Total robot reject..

LeonLouisRicci Aging Actor and Sometimes Director Robert Duvall Plays an Aging Texan Rancher that is Confronted with Border Crossers and a Gay Son. He is at Odds with His Past and These New Fangled Things Confuse Him, to Say the Least.He Directs Himself and Some Good Actors Along with Some Not So Good Actors in a Meandering Script with Jarring Scene Transitions and it's Not a Very Smooth Ride. The Film Does Have Some Moments and a Few Good Scenes and its Heart Seems to Be in the Right Place.Ultimately it is the Rough and Jagged Way the Film is Pieced Together and it's Almost Surreal the Way Things Don't Mesh, Come Out of Nowhere, and Go Nowhere. The Scene with the Grieving Mother at the End When Duvall Comes Clean is the Most Cringe-Worthy and is Just Embarrassingly Mishandled and Badly Written.The Movie isn't Awful but it is a Long Way from Good and Considering the Talent Involved a Grave Disappointment. It's Messages are Messy and Film Craftsmanship is Absent or Weak at the Very Least.

companyorder I'm glad that I scrolled down far enough to read Tony Heck's review. Was expecting something laughable, judging by the majority of comments but I knew that wouldn't be the case with a legend in the driving seat. Many harsh comments about his wife's acting. She was very natural/believable. I really enjoyed this film. A very decent story about a proud man of his time finally coming to terms with himself. And doing the 'right thing' (albeit at the end. I hope that that Mr. Duvall can churn out a few more films like this. He's in great shape for a man of his age and I doubt that he'd require any mounting aide in real life. Lovely touch with the cell phone in the opening scene and some wonderful shots of Texas. Must put it on my bucket list of places to see. Slainte
