“Running Wild” (** out of four) was a tame family story about a widowed ranch owner (Dorian Brown Pham) who tries to rehabilitate a herd of wild horses and simultaneously save her ranch from bankruptcy by employing a series of local convicts and battling with a villainous local developer (Sharon Stone). Story about second chances, the beauty of nature, and family and criminal justice ties is well-meaning and pleasant but instantly forgettable. The type of movie that seems to evaporate on screen as you’re watching it. A minor comeback attempt by Stone but she may have been better off making “Basic Instinct 3” instead.
