Open Range (rented on video).
Directed by Kevin Costner.
Starring Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall.
I enjoyed it. It was about 2.5 hours long, but I didn't feel the length at any point in the movie, except near the absolute end. As would be expected, it's a Western epic, and this one focuses on Costner and Duvall, who are freegrazers. In order to avoid ruining anything (I probably wouldn't, but I'm also lazy), they go on a mission of justice and/or revenge, and a shootout ensues. I'm not a very big Costner fan, but his acting is decent, and he does some pretty badass laying out of the bad guys. Duvall is good as well. I was also amused because of the use of terms like "yonder" and "nigh on". Not as good as Dances With Wolves, but at least I didn't have to see Costner's ass in this one.
7.5/10
