When I first learned of this movie and discovered both Kurt Russell and Kevin Costner starred together in this film, I knew I had to watch it. I never imagined these two great actors ever being in a movie together, so for me it was a must see. But this was going back some years when I learned of this movie and I was only 13 or 14 years old when I finally saw it. And I loved it. Afterwards I then did my research on the film, and I was shocked at the amount of poor reviews it received.
Now I'm 10 years older and a little wiser (I'd like to think) I can see why this film didn't do very well. In my overall opinion I think it simply tried too hard. But does that mean I now dislike the movie? Not at all. I still enjoy it. You got a hell of a lot of action, lots of violence and a great cast. I'm a simple guy who can enjoy a movie despite it's flaws. I can definitely point out things in the movie they could have changed which may have made this movie better (for me) and possibly better received. But no point in thinking "what if?"
I still enjoy the movie for what it is. Full of action and entertaining. As I mention above, has it's flaws but still enjoyable.
