There's no questioning the commitment that Kevin Costner lavishes on 'Horizon.'
There's no questioning the commitment that writer-director-star Kevin Costner lavishes on "Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1," now riding through theaters at less than full gallop as the first of four epics the "Dances with Wolves" Oscar winner believes will keep audiences saddled up.
Costner, 69, has completed the second part and started on the third, so there's no telling that a completed "Horizon" won't reach the finish line as something coherent and compelling. But despite a few thrillingly fired-up sequences it's definitely not there yet."Horizon" is a throwback to 1962's "How the West Was Won," a sprawling, all-star horse opera that gave Costner the "feels" as a kid.
Actually, the film opens with an Apache massacre that Costner stages with harrowing intensity. After a sweet beginning with Horizon resident Frances Kittredge dancing with her teen son Nate , the film plunges into bloody attack mode, leaving Frances a widow with a young daughter Lizzie . What to do? Enter hottie 1st Lt. Trent Gephardt to fill the gap for Frances.
