Kevin Costner stars in and directs the Western Open Range. Robert Duvall stars as Boss Spearman, a rugged old-timer who free-grazes cattle. He and Charley Waite (Costner) have been partners for ten years. As the film opens in the 1880s, the pair and their employees -- the beefy, rugged, likable Mose (Abraham Benrubi) and the impetuous Mexican teenager Buttons (Diego Luna) -- are driving cattle across the West. Mose is attacked and thrown in jail during a visit to a town. The local cattle rancher Baxter (Michael Gambon) wants the free grazers off his land and warns Charley and Boss when they retrieve Mose that they have until the next day to be out of the area. Boss decides to fight back, especially after Baxter's men do harm to the foursome. Charley confesses his past as a killer during the Civil War and strikes up a tentative romance with Sue Barlow -- the sister of the town doctor. The film's centerpiece is an extended gunfight between the duo (with some assistance from sympathetic townsfolk) and Baxter's hired gunmen. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

    Decided to review this after I just finished watching the ending again. Pundits having been saying the Western is dead for years. They are wrong, as Open Range demonstrates. Granted, modern sensibilities have made filming an effective Western more difficult, but if you have a good story, good acting, and good direction, you are in good shape. Open Range has all of these. What is truly remarkable is that this movie focuses on character more than plot and action (though the ending provides plenty of that), and yet manages to remain extremely compelling. Robert Ducall, as always, is in a class by himself, and Kevin Costner and Annette Benning turn in star performances as well. Overall, a fantastic film to watch.

    This is one of the best westerns I have ever seen! I have yet to see a Kevin Costner directed film that I did not like. The acting was perfect and the story was great. This is a slow thought provoking character study. That is until the final scene. One of the best shoot out scenes I have ever seen . Overall, beautiful scenery is combined with a great story, great characters, and great acting. See this! 9.5/10

    An excellent western movie. Fine performances from Robert Duvall, Annette Benning and Kevin Costner. A solid story that centers around the characters. For those that like the standard action of gunfights, this is included as well at the end of the movie
