Where to Watch Open Range
- Juan AntonioMay 18, 2026Is Beautiful
- SirMonkalotFebruary 1, 2026A well shot and acted western film with a pretty straight forward plot that you would expect from this genre. Costner and Duvall do a great job and make this movie shine! I could have done without the last 20-30 mins of the movie, I found the whole love story part dragged on. What’s up with all the fade out transitions?!
- sean.speedMarch 23, 2026Kevin Costner's greatest movie I think! It was beautiful cinematography and pretty cool gun fight special effects.. I liked it!
- Mister ArnMarch 23, 2026“Open Range” is a western with landscapes that match the name. The story takes its time building tension while its main characters move with restraint and grounding. That dynamic between Costner and Duvall is the film’s backbone, delivering the cowboy mystique and effective shootout at the end.
- Joe MurgiaFebruary 21, 2026One of my favorite shootouts in a movie, ahead of Silverado. We lost Duvall, this will be felt. This leaves a giant hole in the acting world no one can fill.
- Magnus PardeFebruary 21, 2026Open Range delivers strong, grounded performances—Robert Duvall brings quiet authority, James Russo adds real menace, and Diego Luna is a standout in his smaller role. The central showdown is gripping and feels like the film’s natural emotional peak. The extended ending that follows, though, drags the momentum down; stopping right after the shootout would have given the story a cleaner, more powerful finish
