50 to 1

The true-life horse-racing tale "50 to 1" takes forever to get galloping - and when it finally does, it's too little too late.

If "50 to 1" were about 15 minutes shorter, all of this might have made for a passable diversion. As it is, "50 to 1," much like Mine That Bird, flags before reaching the finish line.

Captivating us with the story of the little two-year old horse that could, and did, [Jim] Wilson makes us all feel like winners.
