Reviews for Open Range
It's a considerable improvement over his last directing effort, the post-apocalyptic disaster The Postman.

This one is for the Western fans who have been clamoring for classic tales of guns, revenge and a little hokey romance without an ensemble cast or gimmick to keep it afloat.

Top CriticDoes Costner think that none of us have ever seen a Western before?The film does have one hell of a good shootout at the end, But Lord, does he make you wait for it.

El film, hermosamente fotografiado por James Muro, es como un ejemplar perdido de una especie en extinción. También lo es, en cierta manera, su coprotagonista Robert Duvall.

...a cordial and welcome film with likable heroes, dastardly villains, and a rousing climax. It does nothing innovative, but it doesn't need to.

Um faroeste habitado por personagens interessantes e que conta com um dos tiroteios mais realistas do gênero.

[I]n Open Range, Costner sets out to boost the genre... with a... story that draws from the best traditions of the western without sinking into cliché.

The latest Kevin Costner vehicle is his best in years… and if you can get past the slow pace of the flick, it’s a welcome change from this summer’s other offerings.

Costner’s epic, as director, is one to behold, not for its 24th hour sentimental about-face, but for the existential knack it has for the pacific, the stately and the quiet.

Top CriticIt takes forever to get to where we've been before -- way out West, where the sun set on the western a long, long time ago.

A terrific cast... and laudable ambitions more than make up for its meanderings.
09/01/03
Open Range is a bad case of a much too open-minded director in terrible need of a good lasso
09/01/03
An engrossing moral viewpoint combined with three solid star performances is more than enough to make Open Range one of the best of the modern day Westerns.
09/01/03
'Open Range' is simply a grand cinematic experience.
