Ratings by Chuck Vinch. Walt Disney Mackenzie Astin plays will Stolcman who enters a grueling dog sled race in the Walt Disney action movie Iron will. Chuck Vinch stall writer on movies Iron will rated pm must see. Worth your Tom passable entertainment coming soon to a video outlet near you. And you can wait mix Hope Faith and determination. Add Stalwart characters spouting corny dialogue. Sprinkle liberally with swell ing background music at critical inter Vals. Stir together with an incredibly overwrought ending and bake for 90 minutes. What do you have Why it s another typical movie offering from the House of Mickey. Nobody does this kind of thing better than the folks at Disney and in Iron will they be found a near perfect vehicle for their patented Brand of Schmaltz. The film based on a True Story stars Mackenzie Astin son of John Astin and Patty Duke As will Stoneman a 17-year-old South Dakota farm boy. He has been accepted to College but he thinks his place should be on the farm with his family. That does t please his father John Terr who is prone to spouting such treacle As Don t let fear stand in the Way of your dreams. Your place is where your dreams  but when tragedy strikes threatening the farm and will s future will decides to enter a 522-mile dog sled race across the fro zen Northern wilderness from Winni Peg Canada to St. Paul minn., for a prize of $10,000. To his credit director Charles Haid Best known As Renko of Hill Street blues Fame zips through the setup formalities and quickly gets to the main course the race. The Odds against will Are Formida ble. He s up against grizzled veterans like Borg Gull arson George Gerdeman evil tempered swede who is not above sabotaging his competitors. There is also heavy backstage wagering among the wealthy race organizers Brian Cox and David Ogden stiers that does not play to will s advantage. On top of that he faces the daunting task of winning the respect of his Lead dog Gus a gorgeous All White Huskie with ice Blue Eye who belonged to will s father. The boy starts the race in anonymity but his Story is soon trumpeted by Yel Low journalist Harry Kingsley Kevin space who gives will his nickname and turns him into a hero in order to sell More papers one of the film s most affecting scenes comes when will unaware of his growing Fame pulls into a Small Minnesota town and is baffled to find the entire population lining the Street waving american flags and cheering him on. Adults will surely find things to criticize in the script. For example will s entire strategy rests on running harder and longer than the other contestants racing at night going without sleep that sort of thing. So How is it that the other racers easily seem to keep Pace with him but As is almost always the Case with any product bearing the Dis Ney Label the film got an enthusiastic thumbs up from a typical representative of its target audience my 5-year old daughter. While much of the skulduggery among the contestants and race organizers zipped Over her head she was mesmerized by the action scenes. To be honest so was i. It would be hard for anyone not to be captivated by the Beautiful slow motion shots of panting huskies forging across such a magnificent landscape. My daughter was also quite taken with the canine stars particularly Gus played by Beau. Does anyone else wonder Why animal actors must have character names she went so far As to declare that we should get a dog just like him. Such news surely would not sit Well with Rusty our neurotic Cocker Spaniel. In the end All but the deepest cynics will find themselves moved by will s grit and spirit. Disney films Are famous for blatantly and unabashedly pushing All your emotional buttons yet they do it so Well that you Don t care and get choked up anyway. Of course adults will know that the outcome of the race is never in doubt but kids who Aren t nearly so jaded will just Lap it All up. This is one of the better action films Disney has made in recent years a Lively engaging Story that will Appeal to the vast majority of the 12-and-Underv set and quite a few older folks too. Iron will which is sure to earn a Hal Lowed place in your child s video collection when Disney releases it just in time for Christmas gets three stars. Page 12 sunday january 30, 1994
