This movie is one of the best I have ever seen. Lucas Black has done a wonderful job. I never felt that he was acting because I felt it so real and the horse is very beautiful. I am a horse lover, so this movie is extremely touching for me but this movie can be enjoyed by anyone in this world .
Horses are such wonderful beings and can connect with us emotionally very well. Very touching and highly inspiring. This movie will make a remarkable impact on our perception of life and how we must treat other beautiful creations of this earth . A MUST WATCH MOVIE IN EVERY WAY !!!!!!!

This movie was great!!! I saw it a few years ago when it was on the Disney Channel, like, everyday. I cried every single time I watched it. Its such a good movie. If you like horses, its a good movie for you too. I liked it a lot!! Also,Lucas Black is a wonderful actor. If you liked him in this movie, you should also check out Friday NIGHT LIGHTS. It's another wonderful movie. Lucas Black again proves his talent as an actor. It also stars Billy Bob Thorton and Tim McGraw. Billy Bon plays a wonderful type of role that I've never seen before. BEWARE: Both of these movies, FLASH and Friday NIGHT LIGHTS, are tear jerkers. There is no doubt in my mind that you will love both of these movies!!!!!!!
A boy,Conner Strong,stops by every day to see a horse hoping one day to buy the horse.Conner gets a job delivering groceries saving money for the horse. Conner lives with his father David and grandmother.When >bills pile up and a mortgage overdue,Conner's father rejoins the Merchant Marines to pay bills and the back mortgage and to buy Conner the horse,Flash but David must go to sea for 5 months leaving Conner and his grandmother to manage the house.Then when tragedy strikes followed by misfortune,Conner is left struggling to keep everything from falling apart.Lucas black as Conner was great.Look for Black in the movie,Crazy in Alabama starring Melanie Griffith
This was a wonderful movie, and very well cast. The story had a very real sense to it, that is a relief in between all the tacky laughtrack re-run of sitcoms. I admit I did cry a little, but the film deserved each smile and tear. I think very highly of this movie and recommend for all ages.
Flash is a lightweight, but entertaining enough, little family film. Lucas Black is appealing enough as Conner, but his southern accent sounds phony. It's too much. For once, Shawn Toovey (annoying Brian from Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman) manages not to drive me crazy, playing Conner's rich friend Tad.
Brian Kerwin is always perfectly tolerable, although here he disappears after the first 30-40 minutes, not to resurface until the end. He is fine as Conner's dad. Ellen Burstyn is cute as Conner's grandma, Laura, although what an actress of her caliber is doing in a flick like this is beyond me.
Of course, most of what transpires after the first part of Flash is highly improbable, but you do find yourself rooting for the determined Conner and his horse. This is a good, clean movie for kids, but as an adult, I doubt I'd sit through it again.
