I LOVED Open Range! It was a great movie, not just a great western.
I rented it a couple of months ago, and I'm looking to buy it when I can find it for under $15.
I thought it was well written, well acted (VERY well acted) and Costner did a great job directing it. Even people who dislike Kevin Costner will like this one if they like westerns at all. I'm betting this one goes down as one of the all time classic westerns in years to come.
And I'm really disappointed at the revisionist/deconstructionist history of the new Alamo movie. I was listening to a radio talk show the other night and a historian was on saying how the new movie was more historically accurate than John Wayne's version, but that they made Davy Crockett wimpier than he actually was (after all, the guy was a bear hunter, congressman, etc). I'm gonna skip this one.
