Daniel B "Open Range" is a masterfully crafted Western that pays homage to the genre's classic roots while delivering a fresh and compelling narrative. Directed by and starring Kevin Costner, alongside the legendary Robert Duvall, the film tells the story of two free-grazing cattlemen who confront a corrupt land baron in the American frontier. Duvall's portrayal of Boss Spearman is both commanding and nuanced, embodying the steadfast principles of the Old West. Costner's Charley Waite, a man haunted by his past, provides a perfect counterbalance, showcasing a depth of character that resonates throughout the film. Annette Bening adds grace and warmth as Sue Barlow, bringing a touch of romance and humanity to the rugged landscape. The cinematography is breathtaking, capturing the vast, untamed beauty of the frontier with sweeping vistas and meticulous attention to detail. The film's pacing allows for deep character development, leading to a climactic showdown that is both intense and satisfying. "Open Range" stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of Westerns, offering a story rich in authenticity, emotion, and timeless themes of justice and redemption. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Jeff K Something of a throwback western where the good guys are flawed, but honorable killers. I loved everything about it. It's a little too long or would be five stars. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/30/24 Full Review Mary S Oversteps mass killing with bodies dropping left and right. Too much vengeance for so few wounds on the heroes. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Mike K One of the top five westerns of all time.

Some good acting took place and things transpired... 7.5 out of 10! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review matthias s "Open Range" is a wild west adventure that left me feeling a little lukewarm. While I'm not the biggest fan of westerns, I decided to give this one a shot. The film had its moments, and I must admit I did enjoy the romance subplot - it added a nice touch to the otherwise predictable and thin plot. However, my patience was tested by the extremely slow pacing. This movie dragged on for what felt like an eternity, and I couldn't help but check the time a few times. A film like this could've easily been condensed into a more digestible 90-minute duration. Michael Gambon's performance as the villain was a standout, bringing some much-needed depth to the story. Despite its flaws, "Open Range" managed to keep my interest, but it might not be everyone's cup of tea. If you're a die-hard western fan, you might appreciate it more, but for me, it fell short of being a truly engaging experience.
