Synopsis:

From IMDb: “‘Running Wild: The Life of Dayton O. Hyde’ is a cinematic adventure that examines the vibrant life of a cowboy, conservationist and award-winning writer, who through extreme perseverance is preserving part of America. From cattle drives, rodeos and conservation battles, to wild horse rescues, personal heartbreak and new-found love, this is the self-told tale of a colorful 6’5″ cowboy, paralleling both the old West and America’s growing awareness of the importance of protecting our natural resources. ‘Running Wild’ is an inspirational testament for anyone who needs motivation on their own personal journey – and reassurance that each of us can truly make a difference if we try.”

Poster: C+

Review: For a documentary with an action-oriented title, this design is notably inactive. It’s evident that the silhouetted figure is the subject of the documentary and that the film somehow revolves around horses, but the overall point of the tale isn’t well constructed.

Trailer: C+

Review: A lazy, uninteresting documentary. That’s how this trailer portrays its protagonist and its events. Something a bit more eye-catching or exhilarating might add buoyancy to it.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
