not bad but certainly not great

The first time Costner actually said "rustle up some grub" I sort of cringed. There is an awful lot of Hollywood Western cliche in this, in dialogue and plot and characters that represent Pure Good on one side and Pure Evil on the other. Yeah Costner is supposed to have a dark past, but he sure seems like Pure Good by the time of the movie.

The love story is pretty hokey and predictable.

For all that, the scenery is spectacular, Robert Duvall is perfect, all the other acting is right on target and the story, cliched and familiar as it may be, is compelling. But it is a standard Hollywood Western with some good qualities, no more than that.
