Kevin Costner has been involved in many Westerns, but Open Range stands head and shoulders above the rest.
The last few years, Kevin Costner's been most associated with Taylor Sheridan's neo-Western series Yellowstone, but Westerns have always been a big part of his filmography. From Silverado to Dances with Wolves and Wyatt Earp, the actor and director has more than left his mark on Western film and television. Acclaimed for his talent both in front of and behind the camera, the Oscar winner has consistently displayed an affinity for the frontier for the better part of four decades.
Kevin Costner Uses a Slow-Burn Storytelling Approach Tightly plotted and paced, Open Range eschews fast-paced action and thrills in favor of a Western that takes its time. While the tendency to dive headlong into gunplay is always tempting, Costner gives his film room to breathe in exploring life in the Old West. Before encountering Denton Baxter and his men, audiences are given an intimate glimpse into the daily lives of cattlemen who are either in or approaching the twilight of their years.
Kevin Costner Prioritizes Characters Over Action Despite the inherent dangers of navigating an unforgiving natural landscape, and contending with the often violent men inhabiting it, Boss and Charley are given ample opportunity to reflect on the past, make sense of the present, and speculate about potential futures in ways that are intimate and revealing.
