The postman delivers

Rating: Null/10 (26 July 2001)

Costner ends his mendicant attempts to woo a mass audience and makes a film for adults. Jingoism and sentimentality are restrained for the most part, as is the music. Kennedy's career was controversial to say the least but we owe him on this one and you never forget he paid the ultimate price. The scenes in the Whitehouse where he is caught between a rock and a hard place are tremendous. A memorable picture.
