Goofs

When First Sergeant Libbey shoots six of the ailing horses, he is shown pulling back the slide of his Colt .45 Model 1911 automatic pistol before each shot. When firing an automatic pistol, blowback/recoil pushes back the slide, ejecting the spent cartridge, then moving a live round from the magazine into the firing chamber and re-cocking the hammer after each shot. (That's why they're called "automatics".) Pulling back the slide after each shot will eject the fresh round out of the pistol and load the next live round, leaving every other live round on the ground. Not only does this defeat the purpose of an automatic pistol, but since the Model 1911 has a maximum capacity of eight rounds, the highest number of shots he could have fired would have been four.

A good movie for all ages...
23 May 2004 | by (Buenos Aires, Argentina) – See all my reviews

A fine movie, good plot and solid acting. I enjoyed this TV movie on a Sunday rainy afternoon. I particularly liked Don Johnson's performance.The mere idea of destroying 500 hundred horses for economic reasons is simply disgusting, so viewers will easily take sides. The eternal discussion between blind obedience and common sense is frankly depicted here, and the debate reopens again. The note that states -at the end of the film- that no animal has been hurt while shooting this movie is fitting, because at times you get the feeling that the horses are enduring quite an ordeal and facing death in the hands of those who are trying to save them. I warmly recommend this film, it is good for all ages.
