A private user reviewed Open Range (2003)
Open Range
This is one of the finest westerns ever made. I've watched it several times and never tire of the quality dialogue, quality acting, (Duvall and Costner at the very top of their games), and brilliant yet realistic gun fight at the end.
Yes the start and end borrow a little from "My Darling Clementine" but the rest is all original and all quality. "Unforgiven" received high praise but relies on a somewhat extraordinary gun fight at the end. Nothing in "Open Range" is extraordinary, all is ordinary as in believable and it is all the better for it. Yet it hasn't received the recognition of "Unforgiven". Hard to figure.
