Kevin Costner seems to get movies where his acting is good, then not so good, then good, etc. This was a GOOD job. He played a mix of Bull Durham and whatever his character's name was in Waterworld (1995).
Overall this was a good film, the action, cinematography, music and all, but what was a REAL DRAG were the costars....most notably Amber Heard. Who is she, where did she come from and how did she get this role...or others I have seen her in. Her acting was really bad. Her character could have been a really cool one had it been played by an Angelina Jolie or Kate Beckinsale. Perhaps the only good part about her acting is that it possibly caused a short run of this film in the theaters and therefore sped its delivery into my hands.
Script and story were good, cinematography was good and the soundtrack okay. I give the soundtrack the okay because I don't remember it. To me that means that it neither added nor detracted from the film. Costner, Hailee Steinfeld (daughter), and Connie Nielsen (estranged wife) were fine in the acting....Heard I have mentioned. Directing and all was dandy too.
It is not a bad film to see but if there are other pressing ones, see them first.
