War Horse (out Dec 26) is good but not great. It follows the life of a horse that ends up being involved in World War I. I had the chance to see the Tony Award winning play in New York which was brilliant! Unfortunately, this film version feels a little fragmented and the aversion towards blood and violence is too obvious. Grade: B+.
