Wilde Mustangs

This is one of the best Kenny Rogers movies I've seen him do ever!! I have looked every where for it and can't seem to get my hands on a copy of it.I wish they would come out with it on DVD like they did some of his other movies!!The movie taking place in Wyoming was a great choice for this movie as well,it showed lots of beautiful land in the scenes.Wyoming was an awesome place to film a western like this and Sheridain was a good little town to shoot scenes in too.In fact the part where the horses are running thru downtown Sheridain,Wyo. was one of my favorites back then.See I was in high school then and lived there when this was being filmed there so to have actually get to watch them make some of it makes it more interesting to me.My step dad worked at the holiday inn there as a maintenance man and thats where the stars in this movie stayed while filming it,i did get to met a few of the stars back them and as a kid then to me that was really something!!

Ben Johnson is in charge of the US Government's mustang program in Wyoming, where they keep the wild horses in check by capturing some of them for training. Ex-rodeo champ Kenny Rogers gets fired from his job and heads off to take part in a round-up. Johnson is retired before the round-up begins, alas, and the new man allows corruption to creep in. There's also young love, lots of nice photography of horses on bright-lit open range, and music by Hans Zimmer and Kenny Rogers.

Clearly a TV movie with ambition, it's a little too standard to be be great, but it's a pleasant modern western. With Pam Dawber, Richard Masur, and Richard Farnsworth to fill out the capable cast.

In this modern day western tale, country singer Kenny Rogers departs from his normal role as the Gambler with mixed results. The cast is excellent and includes western greats Ben Johnson, Richard Farnsworth and Buck Taylor. Pam Dawber turns in a good performance as the female lead.

The storyline was interesting and the veteran actors do their best with a so-so script. As an actor, Rogers is a good singer .........

It was nice to see these actors work together on such an interesting movie premise, but unfortunately the final film seems somewhat bland........ For fans of the stars only .

If you're having trouble sleeping this is a perfect movie to choose. I have always liked Kenny Rogers, so I really wanted to like this film. It turned out to be a movie filled with cliches predictable plotlines and mediocre acting. There are several very talented actors in this film but the story prevents them from reaching their potential.
