The Upside of Anger
May. 3rd, 2005 11:11 pmOk, I like Kevin Costner. I haven't liked all of his movies, but I've seen a great many of them.
Whether or not you like him, you should see this. It is excellent!
Joan Allen is the real star here. And, man, can she do anger!! Unfortunately, given the movie's release time, she probably won't be considered for awards for the role - and she should be. I haven't seen very many of her movies, but I thought she was wonderful in Pleasantville also.
Costner's character is the type he should stick with - casual, charming, a bit silly, deep-down decent.
It's a type he does very well - which, in a way, is a shame, because it discounts his ability to inhabit a character. But given this and Open Range from last year, he seems to be back on track.
A good movie about what anger can do and how it can change you.
