Overall, I enjoyed this movie, but parts were just too schmaltzy for me. The main characters were too black & white (good vs bad). Costner did seem a little wooden, but I disagree with another poster about Duvall, who I thought was magnificent. I wish Gambon had a bigger role - he wasn't used to his full potential. The cinematography is the real winner here and I can see it getting an oscra nomination. The ending was a little disappointing...very Hollywoodish.
