this be a movie about animal cruelty . under the guise of a marathon race and we see depiction of extreme animal abuse and include literally run a horse to death in slow motion . the guy who do this then have his conscience spiritually cleanse by the flame from the burial or burning of the horse and which of course be still dead and have be torture to death . this be one of the sick and slimy movie i have ever have the displeasure of view . a gene hackman and james coburn near the finish line on their dying animal and be suppose to admire their spirit for finish the race . i would like to put the producer and director in a marathon race while i will decide when theyre finish and probably about 20 minute after they stop breathing .
