I think I've seen this long ago
I like Westerns but after all the crappy westerns being put out I didnt think Id like this 1 but it was good & the ending was perfect
A slow-burner to start with this film really establishes its characters well. A very realistic gun-battle culmination (it's a Western after all) and beautiful scenery shot well maintains the attention.
very good western movie with brilliant performances from both Robert Duvall and Kevin Costner.
Open Range is about Charley (a former killer), Boss (the leader of the crew) and two other members who are pushing a cattle; they stop near a town, events happen that leads to one of...( read more)
I would like this movie. Robert Duvall and Keven Costner. Interesting combination. Robert Duvall intrigues me because of his ability with horses. In Lonesome Dove, he was outrunning a pack of renegades and his horse was running all out. Duvall sat in the saddle with never a ...( read more)
I love westerns of any type, so I enjoyed this because of the scenery time period and horses.
I grew up on Westerns, my Dad was an old John Ford man. At first I did not realized that Western is a species that had already died out since the late 50ies, with the occasional revival. Modern westerns such as this one, Tombstone or 3:10 to Yuma nowadays fall under the category ...( read more)
Kevin Costner's best work ever, I don't care what anyone says. This was a friggin' masterpiece. Robert Duval is one talented actor and has proven that for decades. What an incredible tale of 2 men back in the "wild west". This is one of those, everytime I catch it on TV I will si...( read more)
I know, it's another western but the country views are beautiful as well as the storyline.Supporting casts are great, too!
Robert Duvall always shows up. Based on the novel The Open Range Men by Lauran Paine, Kevin Costner put his heart into this film, both directing and starring. As time goes by, I'll think people will look back and say he did a pretty good job (after some films that were not that g...( read more)
One of the finest westerns of the current generation. And that's not taking anything away from "Unforgiven".
This is one of the best western movies ever. It captures the real mentality of what those men were like.
A good movie, with some lame action...Not as good as I thought before I saw it.
Although a tad long and in parts it seems to drag on, the final gun battle of this film makes it easily an film for this list. Great western drama starring Kevin Costner.
The western genre is alive and as varied and complex as ever. Ranging from the straight forward gun fest to the introverted drama. It's enough to read the cast list of this movie to know it's going to be something out of the ordinary; Robert Duvall, Annette Bening, Michael Gambon...( read more)
This is one of the best westerns I have seen. It is a little bias on my part-I like Kevin Costner and the World Premiere of this movie was right here in my hometown, saw Kevin and everything. Anyway-it is drawn out in places but the action is well directed and the drama well th...( read more)
Amazing scenery and cenamatography. One of Costner's best performances and directions.A definite thumbs up...way up
Good effort from Costner. There is a nice chemistry between all involved and an excellent gun fight at the end.
A great western and a well made movie. Costner directs this story well and really lets the actors become the characters.
The story about how he made the flick and what he was going through is pretty interesting as well.
There were only a few things in the flick that I thought we...( read more)
A beautifully shot, directed, and scored (by legend Michael Kamen) film. Every single frame is perfectly composed. A wonderful look at the end of a way of life (in this case free ranging), with great characters and a compelling plot. Unfortunately, although an important inclus...( read more)
Robert Duvall is superb, one of his best performances. Kevin Costner is excellent. Some of his finest work as a director and an actor. A gripping, epic, compelling and great western. Wonderful settings and awsome action. Some of the best and well-crafted gunfights on film. A tri...( read more)
Con Open Range (2003), el actor y director Kevin Costner se consagra como un hábil conocedor de las convenciones del western, de su potencial dramático y sus alcances épicos. Costner consigue, después de Dances with Wolves (1990), su anterior y magistral western oscareado, otra g...( read more)
