I haven't seen it, but I plan to. Costner, alas, is always Costner, no matter what part he's playing; but he did a pretty good job in "Wyatt Earp," "A Perfect World," and "Dances with Wolves." I think Robert Duvall is one of the two best American actors now working; the other is Morgan Freeman.

Casting always fascinates me. I think Costner and Duvall would be a good match. Morgan Freeman also did a movie with Robert Redford, "An Unfinished Life," which might be considered a contemporary western; the interplay of their characters was wonderful. But calling it a "western" is really stretching the genre.

There was a very funny (but violent and kinda dirty) movie entitled "3,000 Miles to Graceland," in which Costner and Kurt Russell played Elvis impersonators who rob a casino. I only mention it because of its very inspired finale: a gun battle between the two men, both of whom had played Wyatt Earp in 1995! It was like "Duelling Earps!"
