Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 review: Costner’s Western is an epic bore Score Details “Costner has abandoned his small-screen success for a triumphant return to the big screen, only to make a
movie that’s basically television.” Pros Cons It’s tempting to celebrate Horizon: An American Saga on grounds of gumption alone. Having successfully revived his career with Yellowstone, Kevin Costner has taken leave of that television sensation, riding off into the sunset in pursuit of a grander ambition: to write, direct, and star in an old-fashioned Western opus, a frontier story spanning years, long stretches of country, and multiple installments.
The nominal center of the story, the point on the map where Costner’s various winding plot trails will presumably converge later this summer, is the eponymous riverside settlement. Horizon’s position on land not yet stolen from the Indigenous has made it a target of the Apache, who launch a nighttime raid on the community in the film’s first big set piece, leaving only two hidden survivors: a mother and her apple-cheeked daughter .
Horizon never quite becomes a vanity project. Costner, after all, doesn’t show up for nearly an hour. He does hand himself a striking entrance: riding straight up to the camera with a swell of music. His character, a horse trader hiding a secret talent for gunslinging, is a classic Costner hero, rugged but oddly polite.
