Great movie!! Very well written. Lots of action. The gunshots are just as realistic soundwise as Costner's other movie -- Open Range. Five out of five stars for this one.

    Saw this the other night and LOVED it. Best Costner flick since Bull Durham.

    Liked it a lot more than I thought I would, considering Costner and Cook are both AWFUL actors.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Just watched this one on Blu Ray, very good movie. Ending was well done also. PQ and SQ get a thumbs up. I have three more titles to watch, Traffic, Bladerunner, and The Guardian. Love this Hi Def stuff.

    What does it mean when you predict sicko things in movies like this before they happen?

    Don't worry, Wes, you're not a psycho.;)

    The movie was very predictable. It was so transparent that I got the impression the writers did this purposely. Nevertheless, it didn't detract from the movie.

    I liked this movie a lot. I thought that William Hurt's character was very well done.

    The girl I was with kept giving me funny looks, though! :D

    It was a fun movie and I enjoyed it.
