Open Range (2003)

Awkward and stilted western directed by and starring Kevin Costner. 

Costner and Robert Duvall play a pair of nomadic cowboys known as “freegrazers”. 

It’s slow and the thin plot doesn’t warrant the extended 139-minute running time. Costner proves the general rule that actors cannot direct (the only exceptions being Clint Eastwood and Woody Allen). He has little sense of moving things along or building character. Instead, it’s like a fifth-rate homage to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. 

The one saving grace is Annette Bening as the doctor’s sister.
