I personally believe that this is the best movie Kevin Costner has
done since Dances with wolves. Costner's character is a free grazer
just attempting to pass through some territory on his way to wherever,
but just doesn't quite get there. A local land baron tries to steal
his cattle, kills his friend and his dog, and just makes his life
miserable. The movie climaxes with one helluva gunfight. Annette
Bening plays the part of t he town's doctor's sister, who just so
happens to catch Costner's eye. |
