Based on a true story about Mind That Bird. An eccenic cowboys group in Mexico find their dreams in the life. When they have chance to participate in a competition in Kentucky Derby, they have to face with many difficulties and dangers in the race to be the winner
Wilson has owned and raced horses for years and once had a 190-acre ranch in California. And he has made the kind of film he might have seen as a kid, one where patience and hard work get rewarded at the 11th hour.
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.
Though infinitely more real than the symbolically bloated Seabiscuit of over a decade ago, 50 to 1 never completely gets under the skin of horse racing.
