TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

jj_palencia My all time favorite movie, people giving it bad reviews are full of $***, movie is powerful, greatly directed and great acting. The story is awsome.

Predrag A story about uncontrollable passion and desire that forces two people to act upon impulses they know they should put aside but they cannot control their true feelings, and act with reckless abandon. Madelaine Stowe is the lovely lady in an unfulfilling marriage to Tibby Mendez (Anthony Quinn) that Jay, Costner's character, almost immediately falls in love with. Tibby belongs to the Mexican underworld, probably a drug king-pin, and befriends Jay who saved Tibby's life in a hunting accident. When Tibby invites Jay to spend a few weeks at his estate in Mexico, he never imagined Jay would attempt to steal his lovely young wife.This is a solid story, with strong characters, and fine acting all around. However, understand what this film is not. This is not a 'date movie', and not a 'happy' story, but it does indeed reflect real life, and how things do not always end up rosy in the end, or the way we want them. It simply tells a good story, something many films never seem to accomplish, and we get to come along for the ride. It's racy, violent, passionate and moving all wrapped into one. I felt an understanding of the love, pain, betrayal and yes the need for revenge. It was entertaining and an epic portrayal of love and pain.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

LeonLouisRicci Not a Full Fledged Tony Scott Film as it is Presented, More or Less, in a Straight-Forward Style, Minus the Camera and Editing Shenanigans that Became the Director's Trademark. It is Still Violent and Sexy but Seems to Lack Something in the Way the Revenge Motif is Handled.Kevin Costner is Better than Usual and is Playing a Grittier Character with Some Interest and Manages to Pull it Off. Madeleine Stowe does a Good Job with the Limited Amount of Character Development, and Anthony Quinn Exudes Enough of an Evil Underbelly to Make the Villain Dangerous and Scary.But it All Doesn't Quite Work. However it is Worth a Watch for Costner's Against Type Portrayal, Some Nastiness, and the Usual Fondness the Director Exerts on the Look and the Cinematography. The Film is Less Satisfying than it Should be and May be a Disappointment to Some that Expect More Razz-Ma-Tazz and Fanciness.
