This Costner western is in my top 10 all time favorite westerns. A once gunslinger has since retired to move cattle. When he and his men are attacked, he takes up arms against the town's corrupt lawman. He also finds love for the first time in his life. The characters are older than they usually are, and they have learned from the mistakes of their youth which makes this movie intriguing. What happens with gunslingers who live long enough to make it to their forties? The cinematography is breathtaking, and the actors even more so. Costner (Dances With Wolves) is the gunslinger. Duvall (Crazy Heart) is his partner and friend. Mexican actor Luna (Y Tu Mama Tambien) is a youngster looking to learn from the older men. Bening (Mars Attacks) is the doctors unmarried sister. Russo (Beverly Hills Cop) is the crooked sheriff. This is Jeter's (The Green Mile) last role, and he did an amazing job. All in all, I say: SEE IT
