Drazen and Wallace spend their days engulfed in seedy off-track betting while Ken grudgingly drives a New York cab. Bad luck and desperation bring these men together, and they are forced to fight for their very survival and their most valued prize: the right to stay in America. Ultimately, Ponies is about the tenuous hold we each have on the American Dream during these dark, uneasy times of war, fear and terrorism... -- (C) Official SIte

Critic Reviews
-
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
A riveting piece of work full of unpleasant characters whom you're glad you've met but never want to see again.
-
Andrew Schenker, Village Voice
Ponies can claim the not negligible achievement of bringing one of the more irritatingly objectionable characters in recent cinema to the screen.
-
Ron Wilkinson, Monsters and Critics
The outcome of this adapted play by debut director Nick Sandow is well short of the mythical trifecta.
-
Glenn Heath Jr., Slant Magazine
Never distinguishes itself as engaging cinema apart from the main character's vile charisma and a few dynamic dialogue sequences.
