Director Joe Johnston has always had an entertaining sense of adventure,
and with Hidalgo he proves it in spades. It's yet another underrated
film for Johnston (along with such enjoyable popcorn flicks as The Rocketeer
and Jurassic Park III ), dismissed by many critics but a welcome treat
for anyone drawn to good ol'-fashioned movie excitement. In his first
role since playing Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings trilogy , Viggo
Mortensen brings handsome appeal to his low-key portrayal of Frank T.
Hopkins, a real-life long-distance horse racer who, as the movie opens,
has witnessed the appalling massacre of Native Americans at Wounded
Knee in 1890. Drifting into Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, he agrees
to compete, with his trusty mustang, Hidalgo, in "The Ocean of
Fire," a treacherous 3,000-mile horse race across the Arabian desert.
Toss in a bunch of conspiring competitors, a noble sheik (Omar Sharif),
his lovely daughter (Zuleikha Robinson), and enough fast-paced danger
to fill 133 minutes, and you've got a rousing, humorous, and lightly
spiritual adventure that's a lot of fun to watch.
