Nobody has done more to keep the western flame kindling on the big screen than Kevin Costner, but the audacity of his latest rodeo – a planned 12-hour story for theatrical release, spread over four parts – feels like overreach, if not outright folly.
“Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1” teems with old-fashioned values, but the prospect of nine more hours to reach the journey’s end might have looked daunting even to intrepid pioneers. In some respects, testing the kind of longform storytelling associated with limited series in a theatrical format – with part two of “Horizon” set to premiere just seven weeks after this first installment – represents a bold, perhaps even necessary gamble.
Elsewhere, Costner’s laconic cowboy gets reluctantly drawn into a dispute involving a young child, forcing him and the woman who watches the boy, Marigold , to go on the run, while the aforementioned wagon train grapples with its own issues. The sprawling cast includes several of Costner’s former co-stars , as well as Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Luke Wilson, Jamie Campbell Bower and Michael Rooker.
