Open Range has the best western gun battle.

Absolutely. It's the centerpiece of the movie.

True Grit (1969) was before Robert Duvall became a 'leading man'. Much of what he'd done before that was TV. He made a name for himself as the consigliare in The Godfather (1972), and that's when his career began to bloom.

I agree with what you both are saying but for Open Range, do you think the K.Costner character would’ve been better if he portrayed his character more like a ranch hand who’d never experienced a gunfight and rose to the challenge rather than an ex-gunfighter? That’s who Costner plays most realistically. Think “Field of Dreams.” Anyway, just my thoughts.
