I liked it.

I really liked this one, but I do have to agree with Sessa on one thing. Lack of a great villian. For the life of me I can't even remember anything about him.
I also think it would have benefitted from more than one gunfight. I did notice watching it that the first bullet fired is 90 mins. in. And that was at a mirror in a bar! I enjoy slow pacing and engaging characters, but it was kinda disappointing for a western in that [gunfight, lack thereof] aspect. Still very enjoyable though. |
I am really confused by a lot of comments here. People are complaining that the film uses a lot of cliches and then in the next breath complain that it doesn't have a good bad guy or enough gunfights, like EVERY OTHER WESTERN. So if it conformed to every other Western, with a good bad guy and plenty of gunfights, then it would be better, and less cliched? Hmmmm.

Not an overly huge Costner fan but I enjoyed it.

Just saw it tonight for the first time. DTS track blew me away, especially the gun fights. Acting was better than average for a Coster flick, and Duvall was great. What really brought it down was the stupid love story that turned a good movie until a bloated mess towards the end. If they ended after the gunfight, the movie would of been excellent.

Good movie, great acting, one hell of a gunfight.

Costner firing 9 or 10 shots from a 6 shot single action revolver was pretty sad

but it was 9 or ten in a row as he was running. no way he could have reloaded. he was doing that "hit the hammer with your hand while holding the trigger" then that people do with single actions to get a higher firing rate
