Kevin Costner in Dances With Wolves
Kevin Costner has returned to his favorite genre once again for the Western, Horizon: An American Saga. The first chapter was released in late June, and will receive a digital release July 16. It hasn't yet been received as warmly as his earlier Westerns, but there's time for the future installments to improve on the tale. While not his best, it is a reminder of the warmhearted stories and authentic characters Costner excels at.
Mr. Brooks RCrimeDocumentaryDramaMysteryThriller Cast Kevin Costner , Demi Moore , Dane Cook , William Hurt , Marg Helgenberger , Ruben Santiago-Hudson Runtime 120 9 'The Bodyguard' Directed by Mick Jackson "Well, you don't look like a bodyguard." Kevin Costner leads the cast here as Frank Farmer, a former Secret Service agent hired to protect superstar Rachel Marron from a stalker making death threats.
8 'Bull Durham' Directed by Ron Shelton "The world is made for people who aren't cursed with self-awareness." Here, Costner is Crash Davis, a veteran minor league catcher assigned to mentor the young, erratic pitcher "Nuke" LaLoosh . As they journey through the season, Crash helps Nuke refine his skills and understand the game’s mental aspects.
Ness's work takes its toll: when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back, after all. Although the film doesn't quite reach the heights De Palma was aiming for, it's still enjoyable, intense, and marked by a memorable visual style. Plus, David Mamet wrote the punchy script, so the characters practically sing their staccato dialogue. At the heart of it all, Costner is compelling as a fundamentally decent man confronted with the darkest depths of human nature.
Director Roger Donaldson mines this historical subject matter for drama and tension, turning what could have been a dry history lesson into a political thriller. Even though the viewer knows the outcome from the get-go, it's still a compelling watch, effectively bringing to life this most volatile of moments. The film has only become more relevant now, in light of the continued nuclear saber-rattling across the globe.
With Dances with Wolves, Costner musters a sprawling cast of characters and extras, along with animals, huge sets, and countless props. It could so easily have crashed and burned under the weight of its own ambition but, instead, Costner pulls off the magic trick.Dances with Wolves is entertaining and immersive, easily one of the best Westerns of the 1990s.
