Review of Open Range (2003) by John A — 28 Oct 2010
An enjoyable western with a good heart and a view toward protecting those things that matter most. Costner captures the countryside in all its beauty. However the film is just too long. It needs to drop a couple of its endings and avoid meandering quite so much in the first hour.
Costner also needs to temper his desire to overdirect scenes; he needs to let them breathe. And some of the dialogue was a too pat. The film is still enjoyable, but it really could have been excellent.
