Review of Open Range (2003) by Raphael G — 26 Nov 2015
The main characters are wonderfully played, Annette Benning, Kevin Costner and the fantastic Robert Duvall all hit their sweet spot. I could watch Robert Duvall reading a book.
It makes a great change for a Western when you actually care about the characters., and the whole money isn't just about violence.
On the minus side only a couple of minor points. As with all Costner directed films, it is, perhaps, a touch on the long side. I often wonder whether he would benefit from having a stricter Editor. Still worth the buttock cramos.
Also Michael Gambons' "Irish" accent did wander around a bit, but a small price to pay for a very watchable performance.
