I already saw this movie but since it was a while back and since I have it on DVD, I was quite eager to check it out again. First of all, it has been a while since Kevin Costner has left the A list but it's actually a pity because he can be a pretty good actor. In fact, not everything he did in the meantime was actually completely worthless and this flick was a very good example. Indeed, it is actually a rather unknown and forgotten feature but I really enjoyed it. Indeed, for once, Costner was playing a different character than his usual righteous heroes and he was a more intriguing figure, someone who might have been a hero at some point but who he is now pretty much washed-up. The lead was also played by Joan Allen, probably one of the most underrated actress at work nowadays and to round up the cast, you had some fine young actresses (Erika Christensen, Keri Russell, Alicia Witt, Evan Rachel Wood). Maybe they could have spent more time on the daughters who were eventually no really developed but it wasnโt a big deal. Eventually, to conclude, the whole thing was quite spellbinding, I think this movie deserves more credit and it is definitely worth a look.
