Corny plot but enjoyable nonetheless

Rating: 6/10 (8 February 2006)

I've seen this movie for about three times.Every time I see it the plot kind of falls too flatly on its face.The entire situation is too corny and the storyline moves like that of a typical Bollywood movie.A Congressman shooting a rogue in order to reassert his family pride?!And all that when nobody knows where he came from in the shot.But there are good moments in the movie too.Sir Anthony Hopkins is again at his best a Colonel Ludlow,however the rest of the cast gives a so so performance.But the most moving thing about the movie is the score.James Horner delivers a magical atmosphere to the scenic beauty of the Dakotas and coupled with beautiful landscapes and quite good cinematography and thanks to Sir Anthony's performance,the movie doesn't look as bad as it could have.
