Wild Hearts

Who played the Mayor? His face is so familiar, I believe he is a long time character actor with a possible first name of James? Can anyone help with this? The IMDb cast list is incomplete and when the credits rolled after the movie, it went too fast, and the print was reduced to accommodate advertising. So we couldn't read the remainder of the cast.

Is there any way to know WHERE the movie was filmed? The scenery is breathtaking. It looks like Montana or Wyoming. Was this a trained adult wolf or is this another miracle of computerization? This rating should be at least a 12 in my books. Thanks, Hallmark, I hope you will do more of this type of movie.

This movie is a must see for anyone with a family, or anyone that loves horses and animals.

It is an all around great movie. There isn't anyone in your family that wont enjoy the beautiful scenery, gorgeous wild horses and the light mystery that is in the story being told.

I really loved the country they were in. I wish they would tell us more about where they filmed the movie. It is the kind of place I would love to live.

Like so many other movies that the Hallmark Channel puts out, this is greatly enjoyable. I agree with the other person that said that she really liked all the actors who where in it, that they were many of her favorites. I totally agree. It was very nice to see Nancy McKeon again. I think she is a very talented actress. Richard Thomas is great too. I loved the relationship that was built between their two characters, and that between Hallee Hirch (Jag) and A.J. Trauth (Even Stevens). It was really nice to see Geoffrey Lewis play a good guy for once, two.

I highly recommend you watch this movie next time it is on.

7.0 stars.

I liked this film solely for how it portrays a sheriff and his daughter. She is a complex individual full of spunk and personality. He is a likable father and lawman. The writers and director do a wonderful job developing her character. Sheriff does his role some justice and they have a good father-daughter bond. My only criticism is that the acting is inconsistent. It tends to be flat at times, and other times excellent. The dialogue is virtually non-existent, so it detracts a bit from the entertainment value. The director produces a nuanced drama with too many silent moments, instead of much needed conversation and tension.

Beside the relational aspects of this movie there really isn't much to enjoy. She is an animal lover and has a gift and affinity for wolves, mustangs, horses, etc.

The plot is interesting, expands into a semi-thriller near the end as there is a crime to be solved and some shady characters are revealed. There is even a bit of an altercation. It doesn't much lend itself to a romance, but there are a few ok kiss moments. It's a generic film, could've had been much better, or worse, however you choose to view it. You can probably make yourself enjoy 'Wild Hearts' just enough to be satisfied.

I tuned this in not expecting much and was very pleasantly surprised! Instead of a formulaic, movie of the week, I encountered an unfolding narrative that quickly drew me in and had me caring about the characters, both human and the animals. The cinematography was spectacular for a relatively low budget TV movie, especially the scenes showing the mustangs running. I thought the acting was uniformly very, very good, with special notice going to young Hallee Hirsh, in the lead role of Madison, who I remember from ER and JAG and many other TV episodes as well as both TV movies and feature films (You've Got Mail). She has grown into a very lovely young woman, beautiful actually, and she is a superb actress - real and believable at all times. And she always makes me cry. I hope to see a lot more of her in coming years. I thought Nancy McKeon was also very charming in her role as the town's new veterinarian. There were nice dynamics between her character and Hallee's character and her character and Richard Thomas's character. The young actor who played Hallee's friend was also very endearing as was the veteran actor who played Hank. Good job Hallmark. Give us more movies like this!

The cast is perfect! The story lines so interesting. This is a winner!!!

Richard Thomas is great in this role. His daughter on the show is a great and beautifully spirited young woman. And the vet is beautiful. She played in facts of life. I am so impressed.
