Kevin Costner directs and stars in this Western drama about four free-grazing ranchers -- Boss Spearman (Robert Duvall), Charley Waite (Kevin Costner), Mose Harrison (Abraham Benrubi) and Button (Diego Luna) -- whose cattle meander close to a small town ruled by a greedy sheriff and his cronies. Forced to defend their way of life, the cowboys take on the corrupt leaders, while Charley, a loner, is surprised by a newfound love (Annette Bening).
Feeling like a good cowboy movie today, thought I'd try this one on for size. One of my brothers recommended this one. It's a long movie tho, but so far so good.
A modern western is very refreshing, so much better than the simple hero-stories of before. Both the plot, the colors and the characters are way fresher than anything with John Wayne in it!
Finally watched this last night. Can give my friend his DVD back. Excellent film. I really enjoyed it. I love Michael Gambon, and he played a real son of a bitch here. lol
