Costner? Huh?

Normally, I never would have bothered with a Costner flick for the rest of my life, but he shocked me. I'm glad I caved in and saw this film, despite Costner's lead role. Probably his best performance ever, going thru so many emotions. I too felt compassion for this serial killer. odd.

And I agree with Jason's review. Demi Moore was so miscast, and so pathetic. She single-handedly managed to keep this film out of IMDb's Top250 list with her performance. But it shows that even with such a bad role on her part, Costner still managed to carry this film well on his own (though Hurt was awesome too).

Credit also goes out to the script and the plot. Felt truly original, and it had a couple of wicked twists that I never saw coming. Very nicely done.

And in an Interview, Costner hinted this is part of a trilogy, which makes me really interested in any sequels for this, hopefully minus Demi this time. Or at least have Costner kill her off.

8/10
