Review 155: Seabiscuit
Based on the non fiction book Seabiscuit: An American Legend by Laura Hillenbrand, Seabiscuit tells the true story of three men, a woman and a horse during the Great Depression. They are a jockey, a businessman, his wife and a trainer.
Tobey Maguire, Elizabeth Banks, Chris Cooper and Jeff Bridges are superb in this film and deliver fine performances all round. The group play off of each other superbly and their report and chemistry is the emotional centre of this film.
