Costner finds in the Western something grand, familiar and new within a genre that clearly has some life in it yet. Full Review |

4/4 |
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. Full Review |

It's a considerable improvement over his last directing effort, the post-apocalyptic disaster The Postman. Full Review |

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. Full Review |
