RE: "Open Range", an oatburner for the ages.

This one along with Shawshank, O'Brother, maybe Big Lebowski and Jaws that I can watch again and again. I'd take it over Tombstone, and probably over Unforgiven, which I love. I would disagree, though, that it is sappy, which I assume is what you meant.

Yes, the good guys win. But consider the scene when Costner is talking to Bening as he is going to wait for the inevitable fight - when he tells her that men are going to get killed, and he is going to kill them. I think a typical Hollywood flick would have the love soften the man for what needs to be done, or at least what he thinks needs to be done. You know, she made feel things.

I like that he still has a job to do, and they both know that the fight must happen.
