Reviews
Costner finds in the Western something grand, familiar and new within a genre that clearly has some life in it yet.
While equally paying homage to directors Peckinpah, Eastwood, and Kurosawa, what makes Open Range special is that it's a love story, too. And one peopled by endearing characters we're inclined to care about when the bloodletting has finally ended.
Open Range est tout simplement un bon vieux western qui fait plaisir à voir.
... even though Costner's sense of a satisfying ending is a bit too ordinary and unimaginative, I found Open Range refreshing.
Costner is like a man wandering through a fortress abandoned by giants, clutching at weapons far too heavy for him to wield.
... needs a better story, better characters, better source material; and fewer aphorisms, fewer long glances and sweeping scores, fewer chunks of cheese.
It's a considerable improvement over his last directing effort, the post-apocalyptic disaster The Postman.
This one is for the Western fans who have been clamoring for classic tales of guns, revenge and a little hokey romance without an ensemble cast or gimmick to keep it afloat.
