Search: Starring Kevin Costner

The comedy and thriller aspects of the film don't always gel but the character work is generally strong enough to carry us through it.

It's well directed but even if most of the cast weren't phoning it in they would have real difficulty eliciting sympathy.

There are two stories running side by side. When they reach the junction they collide. It's a Hollywood disaster

The Western exhausted its cliches and died in parody. Costner works the vein, as if ignorant of its history.

The entire movie is about a boring, sad man being boring and sad.

Costner is running on empty.

There is a breadth of quality about the acting, including a fine performance from Sela Ward as Ben's estranged wife - making a lot more of her role than her meagre scripting suggests.

The title suggests derring-do, when No Country For Grumpy Old Men would better set the mood.

It has all the hallmarks of a production destined for a television mini-series with apparently three other chapters promised by Costner.

Spencer [is] particularly strong in communicating not just fluency but enthusiasm for what she does.

The script is clunky and the plot cannot be taken seriously

The first two acts are so strong, it's almost a shame that the invasion plot arrives, and things start blowing up real good.

The story of Stanislas Petrov is one that needs to be told and The Man Who Saved The World is a near perfect telling of it.

The glossy magazine spin to this innocent touchy-feely romance destroys all faith in the advancement of human intelligence.

The tension is too tight to touch

A thoughtful and engaging piece - it might not be as clever as it thinks it is, but at least it tries.

For the second time, Costner has bet the farm and found his strength in cattle country.

As an actor, Costner plays his trademark laid-back, soppy-hearted loner, offering nothing new. As a director, he is so casual with detail he might not have been there.

Despite some obvious cheese and more than a few slices of ham, this is popcorn of the best kind.

Aniston... spends much of the picture grimacing and stroking her stomach, rather as if she is about to be ill. Perhaps this is because she realised she was now contractually obligated to finish the picture.

It takes a genius to make the Kennedys boring. That man is director Roger Donaldson.

Inspires a feeling of awe.

Acting of this calibre can change the world, if only for a moment.

Waterworld has a lot going for it. It's everything an action/sci-fi movie should be.
