Its an old-fashioned road movie with two stars playing in the laid-back, mellow key of world-weary grumpiness.
Its an odd choice, in a way.
But it certainly helps that those two stars areKevin CostnerandWoody Harrelson.

They play Frank Hamer and Maney Gault, former partners whove been put out to pasture.
And theyve both been retired long enough to miss the thrill of the hunt.
Costners Frank finds himself in a life of comfort and boredom.
Hes a curmudgeon with a pack-a-day rasp and pet boar as a guard dog.
Costner and Harrelson have an easy, believable rapport.
You like spending time in their company even if they dont much enjoy each others.
Still, his film couldve used a little more sizzle and snap.
It wont reinvent cinema the way thatBonnie and Clydeonce did.
But its a ride worth taking nonetheless.B
