Kevin Costner’s 2003 Western, Open Range, is hardly a ‘hidden gem’ in the conventional sense. It arrived with a sweeping grandness and a roster of great actors, at a time when Costner’s star was still bright and there was nothing he did that could slip under anyone’s radar. But despite its big names and warm reception, Open Range is a movie that seems to have fallen down behind the sofa and been forgotten. Perhaps due to the unfashionableness of the genre, perhaps due to Costner’s inexplicably waning appeal. Whatever the reason, Open Range is an absorbing, thrilling Western that is driven by robust characterisation and gritty action.Read the full article at The Reel Word:
