Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

g_rennels Everybody liked this film. It was an OK story but not true. An American story filmed in Australia. And it showed. A Colt 1911 semi-automatic pistol but he works the slide before each shot??? Don Johnson has been in enough shoot 'em ups to know better. The Milk River does not form the US Canadian border. They apparently rode right past the Pine Ridge Reservation to reach what reservation, exactly? I expect if I thought a little I could come up with more goofs. So - what part of this movie are we supposed to believe? A tear jerker but please don't take it as a true story. So-from the company who now gives us Game of Thrones. HBO has come a long way.

elskootero I first saw this film during a snowstorm at my dad's house in 1998 and got the video when IT came out, and the DVD when IT came out! It's a first-class film in every way. It takes place at the time when the army was just leaving the "old" cavalry and getting ready for the "new", mechanized cavalry, and a group of old-style cavalry troopers have to destroy a group of horses that the army no longer needs. James Sikking does a first class job portraying Douglas McArthur, first clearing out the "bonus" marchers from World War 1, then pursuing these old soldiers as they try to take these now useless cavalry mounts up to Canada, hoping they'll be safe there. If you love horses; great movies with little special effects-just great acting and a really nice end; you must see it; you'll be VERY glad you did!

Rosie-34 I'm biased: I love horses; I love movies with and about horses. I've seen horse-related movies good, bad, & indifferent. But there was nothing bad or indifferent about In Pursuit of Honor. The first time I watched it, I cried like a baby and swore I'd never watch it again, it devastated me so. But it draws me back again and again, and I've watched the movie probably a dozen times. To my mind, In Pursuit of Honor is one of that rare breed: the perfect movie. The writing, filming, and acting all combine to create the kind of movie that, like a good book, you want to experience over and over again. And if nothing else, it showed me that Don Johnson is not the shallow, pretty face I'd always considered him; he gives a wonderfully restrained performance, as does Craig Sheffer. An entertaining, educational, historically accurate movie that my husband and I will enjoy at least another dozen times.

thousandisland You don't have to be a horse lover to enjoy this film, but it helps. Sensitive viewers may find some scenes hard to watch, particularly the killing of quite a few horses, but otherwise the action is generally mild. The overall feeling of this film is personal honor. It is about people standing up for what they believe is right and just, even at the cost of their own lives and reputations. This moral standpoint is conveyed, but not overdone. This is not a sweet or sappy film at all, but has restrained, masculine expression that I guess is appropriate for the cavalry. In my opinion it lacks any strong characterization, but this is the fault of the writers, not the actors. There is only one female character in the whole film, and I did not find her to be very believable, but the male leads are all appropriate and seem to fit this film. I enjoyed viewing "In Pursuit of Honor" and got wrapped up in it. It has a triumphant ending and leaves you feeling good, suggesting that even in the carnage and cruelty of war, there can be room for humanity.
