9/10: Open Range proves it's premature to call the Western genre dead after Unforgiven was made.

Thanks to the cast, Kevin Costner's pet project is as good as it can be. The story is sincere and interesting, and there's a human aspect involved.

Never been a fan of Annette Bening's work, I find her performance surprisingly mature and different from what I'm used to. Robert Duvall is at his usual best. Kevin Costner revisits his Dances With Wolves roots and recaptures the same emotions which is a joy and, therefore, a relief.

All in all, Open Range is a fitting addition to the Western genre.
