The "Open Range" is a movie every conservative should see - about a mythical ideal and timeless values that will always be ageless. Every one of us can be the Western hero at heart, like our President is when he saddles up to ride out to meet the enemy.

Kevin Costner? No thanks.

I'll wait until it's on video, and even then I'll wait until I can get it for free. That pinko won't see a cent of my hard earned money!

sounds good... I bought Quiggley Down Under with Tom Selleck (?) and it was really good.

We totally agree, it was an exceptional film. Kudos to Kevin Costner who was directing AND acting with a sever appendicitis problem. If you get the DVD you will find this in the "features" section. He even thanked God for allowing him to complete the film. Although I do not know which "god" he was referring to, it was nice to hear nonetheless!

P.S. Hear it in DTS surround and turn it up during the gun fight… that is how guns really sound and it is IMPRESSIVE. Just be sure to duck out of the way of those ricochets!

A film critic that doesn't know the definition of an anti-hero?

An anti-hero is the guy who did the right thing because he profited from it or because it suited him at the time. Humphrey Bogart in Cassablanca or Dirty Harry.

What the critic discribed were the average bad guys.

Bump for a top-notch movie. Loved it all the way.

Excellent casting.

Great cinematography

One old west historian I read said the street scene where four or five are chasing one of the bad guys and they are all shooting up close and often missing is one of the most realistic shootouts in western movies.

I loved Open Range -- especially how it goes against the modern definition(s) of a man. I also got a kick out of how the movie is incompatible with the values of Hollywierd and especially its star, Kevin Costner.

I saw it last weekend. It is likely to become a classic, almost as good as Lonesome Dove. Duvall is brilliant. It turns out he fell of a horse and broke six ribs, but still did most of the movie in that condition. Costner had a burst appendix for most of the movie. It's well worth seeing.
