All rights reserved.| Movie Description Set in the early 1880s, this Western directed by Kevin Costner (DANCES WITH WOLVES, THE POSTMAN) is a classic tale of the good guys verses the bad guys with a romance thrown in for good measure. Boss Spearman (Robert Duvall) and Charley Waite (Kevin Costner) are free grazers, riding herds of cattle across the country and grazing as they go. But a local rancher, Denton Baxter (Michael Gambon), considers Boss and his boys thieves, and is determined to run them out of his town by any means possible--even murder. Duvall is endearing as the tough but tender Boss, who has the courage of his convictions and refuses to be intimidated by Baxter. Costner's Charley has worked for Boss for ten years while trying to forget his past, only to find himself drawn back into conflict. Lovable Mose (Abraham Benrubi) and teenager Button (Diego Luna) round out the free grazers' team. Annette Bening stars as the town doctor's sister, Sue, who is drawn to Charley's gentle demeanor and is unfazed by his ability to kill. Beautiful scenery, a script peppered with humor, and solid performances--especially from Duvall and the supporting cast--make Costner's fourth foray into directing enjoyable.

Report this review Robert Duvall is a class actor. He really gets into character in this movie and delivers a great story. Kevin Kostner has been a favorite actor of mine for many years. I've enjoyed watching his movies and his interpretation of what the writer offers. A very good western story about friendship, love, respect. Review ID: 10000000007758649 Was this review helpful? Report this review Good acting. Great cinematography and scenery. Robert Duvall always is good in a cowboy role. The plot is good although predictable.

Report this review This was a clean western story where someone finally stands up to a town bully and takes him to the full consequences of his actions. Yes there is violence. There is no other unnecessary "stuff" thrown in that would cause offense. There are enough twists and turns to make it really enjoyable and not "predictable". There is humor mixed throughout that is also good. Review ID: 10000000007352144 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
