But suspend disbelief for two hours and enjoy a low budget indie war movie. Remember, its not a documentary and never claims to be.

It's pretty good, it's entertaining, there are some tense scenes. It's not the best war film out there, but it's ok for a non-war-knowledgeable human.

Warhorse One (2023) has a darling child actor, and a lead actor that is able to use weapons with an authentic skill. It also is so low budget that Afghanistan is actually filmed in Texas, the bad guys shake their guns to pretend that they are firing and they have white guys dressed up as Taliban.

So for the cavalry, armed with only swords, to go against machine guns would have been pointless and was not a probable strategy to use in the war. Another inaccurate part of the film is that the trenches were not angular and straight. These inaccuracies are small but do not hinder the movie's authenticity.

Set before and during World War I, its plot follows Joey, a bay Irish Hunter horse raised by British teenager Albert as he is bought by the British Army, leading him to encounter various people throughout Europe, in the midst of the war and its tragedies.

Although it is a work of fiction, War Horse has shown the deep bond between man and beast as well as how everyone suffers during war – not just humans but also animals.

That said, WARHORSE ONE is marred by some strong foul language, including eight “f” words and very strong war violence with multiple gun battles. Also, in one scene, the hero mentions a Muslim soldier working for the American who sacrificed his own life for the hero's platoon.

Actor, writer, and producer Johnny Strong makes his directorial debut with the film "Warhorse One". He takes us behind the scenes of the movie filmed in Texas.

Somewhat confoundingly, during the production, ten or so different horses were used to play Joey, including the superstar thoroughbred horse actor who played Seabiscuit. Seabiscuit is apparently the Brad Pitt of horses, and was brought in to handle the serious scenes.

Although the equine hero of War Horse is fictional, his story is based on the true horrors experienced by the eight million horses who died on all sides.
