¨Open Range¨ is a classic western. It's spectacular and riveting. The movie centers about facing off between settlers and cattlemen.
In the cowboys group we find an ex gunslinger(Kevin Costner), an old man (Robert Duvall) and a younger (Diego Luna). They'll have to fight against a landowner (Michael Gambon), a corrupt sheriff( James Russo), an assassin (Kim Coates), among others . Meanwhile the ex-gunfighter will fall in love with a spinster (Annette Bening).
The final showdown between the contenders is breathtaking, gunfight is likeness to "O.K. Corral duel¨.
The film is awesome , sets are extraordinaries and landscapes are wonderful.
The movie blends action, violence, a love story ,drama ,shootouts and is a fascinating film.
Direction by Kevin Costner is of first rate as ¨dancing with wolves¨. Cinematography by Michael Muro is glimmer and Michael Kamen's musical score is atmospheric. Runtime film is overlong however is neither tiring , nor boring but entertaining.
Rating: 7'5 /10 above average. Well worth watching.
