I wasn't sure if this movie would be that good before I saw it. I'm not a huge Kevin Costner fan. However, I was surprised. Kevin Costner is perfect in this role and William Hurt was awesome. I love their characters and development. I am still thinking about it. The two of them carried this movie and really made it worth seeing.
I didn't think the other actors did anything for this movie - maybe it was the poor dialog for everyone else in the film except KC and WH. I was surprised that I didn't even like Demi Moore. She just wasn't very believable at all - but again, it could have been the poor script dialog. Marg was good though, and I think it would have been better had she been cast as the cop instead of the wife - but perhaps that would have been too much like CSI.
If my rating was based solely on the performances of Kevin Costner and William Hurt, dialog, acting, plot - I'd give it an 8 or 8.5. They were really fantastic. If my rating was based on the acting/dialog of the others in the film, I'd give it a 6 or 6.5. Truly, the scenes without Kevin Costner and William Hurt just weren't worth anything. Therefore, it gets a 7 as a whole.
