Overall, I enjoyed this movie, but parts were just too schmaltzy for me. The main characters were too black & white (good vs bad). Costner did seem a little wooden, but I disagree with another poster about Duvall, who I thought was magnificent. I wish Gambon had a bigger role - he wasn't used to his full potential. The cinematography is the real winner here and I can see it getting an oscra nomination. The ending was a little disappointing...very Hollywoodish.
Follow Ups:
Yes. Death and preferably some dismemberment too would have served us literary types far better. Plus, the guy should *never* get the girl. So... Hollywood!Seriously, I wrote that the choices under the circumstances had to be made from a set of stock endings. Nature of the beast! But did you guess which ones would be chosen?

You are right Clark, I was sort of wondering which way they would end up. In that regard, it was a bit of a surprise. Yes, I would've preferred him, perhaps not dismembered, but at least ending up a loner. Can men like that ever be tamed? But Boss and Charlie going into partnership owning the bar?!? Come on!
What, you want 'em to own the bank? A dress shop? A construction business? Geez Luiz!clark
a Sherriff and his trusty assistant. Together they could chloroform the lawbreakers into ideal inmates. Hmmm! I wonder if that would work here at AA. ;-)
