	Open Range - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Open Range is a 2003 movie based on the novel The Open Range Men by Lauran Paine.
		The movie is probably set on the western slopes of Colorado (Gunnison is mentioned) in 1882 (the year is seen on a new grave marker) though the movie was filmed in both the United States and Canada.
		The "wars" pitted those that believed in the "Law of the Open Range" - free access to water and grass for everyone, against the "barbed wire" men - land barons, who used the new fencing to define their empire and block the free-range cattlemen from moving their herds.

	Modamag.com \| Open Range (Movie Review)
		Based on the novel by Lauran Paine, and adapted by Craig Storper, “Open Range” is another odyssey into a theme that all of Costner’s films share: the idea of land ownership.
		“Range” is Costner’s most challenging film to date because it requires an audience to sit still for 135 minutes, this in a summer of relentless action, and just listen to characters be.
		“Range” is slow, but continually rewarding, basking in the glow of a traditional western, while retaining the intimate scope that Costner typically employs for his films.

	Open Range: Movie-Source.com Open Range Movie, Open Range Preview, Open Range Review
		Open Range is consistently entertaining and at times quite funny, but what really pushed the film over the edge is the stupendous action scene at the end.
		Open Range is inherently a drama, but the entire movie leads up to the single gunfight at the end, and the wait is well worth it.
		Though Open Range does not amount to Oscar-worthy material, it is still by far one of the best movies of 2003 so far, and should not be overlooked for the mere fact that it is a western, or that it stars Kevin Costner.

	MOVIE - OPEN RANGE - Review Rating $$$ (OUT OF 10)
		Open Range is so bad it almost makes you regret that Clint Eastwood revived the Western with his brilliant film "Unforgiven".
		Open Range is actually a Harlequin Romance with a gun fight at the O.K. Corral.
		The first, which is poorly developed, involves the conflict between the last of the open range herders and the beginning of more formalized ranching.

	Open Range Movie review
		"Open Range" is a Western, slow, moody and carefully wrought, full of tiny, well-chosen details and equipped with a sturdy plot that hearkens back to many Western classics of the past.
		But the greatest strength of "Open Range" is in the characters, particularly those of Boss and Charley.
		Robert Duvall is one of the best actors in movie history, capable of an astonishing range of characterizations, each one alike only in their utter credibility.

		Enter Kevin Costner's meditative Open Range, an old-fashioned cowboy movie that sticks to the genre's roots with a little jigging and tweaking to remain relevant for current audiences.
		Open Range sides with the little guy, whose equivalent today would be the thousands of people who have lost good chunks of their life savings through corporate scandals and cover-ups.
		Open Range has the feel of something that was made with great passion.

		And in the middle of all this dust, mud, rain and open range is Sue Barlow (Annette Bening), the spirited town spinster, who steals Charley’s heart.
		I think the truth is just as entertaining as the lie and I think Annette Bening is as attractive and as interesting in that role as any woman you could have put 20 years younger than her.
		The thing is she fit better and I didn’t want to spit on the movie in order to actually have financial success which I’d like to do.

	Open Range Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		And although Costner directs, produces, and stars in Open Range, this is not another bloated vanity piece like The Postman or Waterworld (1995).
		While not in the same class as Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven (1992), Open Range is still a rousing addition to that most American of film genres, the western.
		The extra's include commentary by Costner, who's somewhat dry as he breaks down why he made the movie, the difficulties of certain shots, why scenes were taken out (and, of course, kept in), and his praise of the stars involved (he compares Bening to Maureen O' Hara and Katharine Hepburn).

		Although Open Range is not on the same level as Dances with Wolves, it's a respectable effort that is only slightly marred by the unnecessarily protracted denouement.
		"Open Range" is the kind of movie that Costner knows how to make, whether he's acting in it or directing.
		"Open Range" is not in the same league with "Dances," but this compelling drama stands on its own as one of the best films of the summer.

	SurfWax: News, Reviews and Articles On Open Range
		Costner realises in Open Range - rather more fully than he did in his bloated Dances with Wolves - that westerns have to be completely abstracted from the present day or even the historical past; they live or die by their own conventions, and you meddle at your peril...
		Open Range is the first film since then that Costner has both starred in and directed, and must have been something of a personal challenge, following the torrent of negative reaction to The Postman in 1997...
		Open Range is indeed the kind of old-fashioned, old-values, sweeping yarn they really don't make any more, set at the end of an era when land was not...

	The Trades
		However, the free and easy lifestyle as typified by the free rangers is the object of scorn and hatred by some, and in “Open Range” the center of this enmity comes from a town called Harmonville which is nearby where they have driven their cattle.
		There is no gratuitous blood spattering in “Open Range” but that doesn’t detract from the essential horror of it all.
		Movies tend to draw sharp dividing lines between right and wrong, but this film, to it’s credit, does not.

	Open Range Movie Review
		And despite a deliberately slow pace, Open Range really works because of a fantastic Robert Duvall, an authentic approach to the material, and one of the most spectacular shoot-out sequences ever caught on film.
		Sure, Costner's rough past is obvious, and yes, it's hard to shake the obvious shades of Unforgiven in Open Range, but I admired this movie for it's classy and realistic depiction of the cowboy lifestyle.
		I walked into Open Range and was fully prepared to hate it.

	Open Range - Movie Commentary by Tony DiPasquale (proudestmonkeys.com)
		Open Range excels because it caters to a mature, seasoned viewer, eschewing many of the pyrotechnics which litter most summer fare and eliminating a great many of the clichés that bog down similar films.
		Michael Gambon does ham it up as the movie’s central villain, but the film overcomes this due to its focus on the friendship the two leads share as well as a budding romance with a local played by Annette Bening.
		Open Range is a distinct flavor onto itself, a character-driven tale that surpasses its genre’s usual boundaries and leaves a lasting impression.

	Open Range - Movie Review
		So it's no major shockerooney that 'Open Range', his fourth and most recent attempt at mastering this director's chair malarkey (if you count his uncredited work on 'Waterworld'), is a bloated, two-hour-plus cowboy movie.
		When we came out, they both went 180 degrees on it and admitted they enjoyed the movie very much (a better praise to a movie I can't imagine -- especially considering my girlfriend falls asleep through 75% of movies she wants to see, and she stayed awake for this whole film).
		If you like westerns, this movie is a must, if you don't, then I urge you to watch this film as it may change your perspective.

	Open Range - DVD Movie Central
		Open Range, especially on the big screen, was an excellent one.
		In this movie, though, as he admits in his commentary track, he often seems like a bystander and accidentally nods and forgets to act his part now and then.
		Costner's solo commentary track meanders all over the place but at least he opens up to things that he tried to do in the movie and is far more personal than most directors.

		Even with a strong desire to be in a Western, any actor in their right mind would have run far away from Open Range after reading the awful script.
		Along with screenwriter/producer Craig Storper, Costner has turned Open Range into one giant rehash of at least 10 other Western classics including High Noon, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and The Magnificent Seven without generating one original idea.

		The movie has the look of a classic Western with simple shots that reminded me of a John Ford movie and realistic dialogue that is both rewarding and memorable.
		I love movies like "Open Range," but they are bittersweet for me to watch.
		Early on we see the aftermath of violence that takes place off-camera (a man is killed, but nothing is graphically shown), a few men are knocked around by Boss and Charley and the gunfight is what you would imagine it would be – but nothing gratuitous.

	Saddle up for ‘Open Range’ - Movie review archive - MSNBC.com
		Craig Storper scripted from Lauran Paine’s novel “The Open Range Men,” and at the core of the story is the friendship, almost a sparring bachelor marriage, of the small-scale cattleman Boss (Robert Duvall) and sidekick Charley (Costner).
		The emerging sentiment of “Open Range” is that the range is too lonesome for Charley and Boss.
		“Open Range” has hooves deep in about a thousand Westerns, most obviously “Shane” and “Unforgiven.” Even less than Clint Eastwood an innate stylist, Costner still achieves a kind of stripped poetry, with an excellent feel for the land and the weather.

		Welcome to the freshest place to see which movies are hot and which are not.
		While it also explored the ethic of scruffy, hard-bitten loners banding together to battle corruption and evil (the antagonist was also named Baxter), it did not have the depth and character development of Craig Storper's screenplay, based on "The Open Range Men" by Lauran Paine.
		On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Open Range" is a simplistic, understated 8, evoking memories of "Shane," "High Noon" and "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral."

		When a ruthless, evil rancher tries to run them out of town, the men's peaceful existence takes a tumultuous turn and ends in the grittiest, most explosive gunfight on film as two men battle a town for honor, justice, and a way of life that's quickly disappearing.

	Open Range Movie Review
		's Open Range proved yet again that the Western is the classic American genre.
		While it lacks the thematic impact of Eastwood's masterpiece, Costner's first film since 1997's ill-fated The Postman returns the actor/director of Dances With Wolves to the open prairies of America--in this case the free-range frontier of 1882--where legal "free-grazing" cattle drives were falling prey to empire-building land-owners.
		In the wake of territorial murder, free-grazing cowboys Boss (Robert Duvall) and Charley (Costner) seek vengeful justice against the ruthless rancher (Michael Gambon) who threatens their law-abiding survival.

	Open Range (Movie)
		Kevin Costner’s Open Range is a lot better than his last directorial effort, The Postman, a movie so extravagantly awful that he still hasn’t climbed out from under it.
		Costner has a weakness for bland grandiosity, and often in Open Range, as in Dances With Wolves, he seems to think that simply by shooting beautiful scenery he can create a classic.
		What rescues the movie is Costner’s low-key charisma, which remains sturdily intact despite a dreadful spate of recent clinkers.
