‘Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2’ Review: Kevin Costner’s Homage To Westerns Is Visually Impressive, But The Story Doesn’t Come Together — Venice Film Festival


'Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2': Kevin Costner's homage to Westerns is visually impressive, but the story misses the bull's-eye - Venice.

Sienna Miller ’s Frances Kettredge, who lost her husband, son and home during an Apache raid in Chapter 1, is now a plucky homesteader rebuilding her life with her daughter Elizabeth (Georgia MacPhail) in Horizon, an outpost town advertised on flyers as a promised land. Only John Debney’s brazenly old-school orchestral accompaniment roils and toils with barely a breather, its innumerable crescendos of a million massed strings failing to compensate for the absence of other kinds of dramatic highs. Cast: Kevin Costner, Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Giovanni Ribisi, Luke Wilson, Isabelle Fuhrman, Abby Lee, Will Patton, Ella HuntRunning time: 3 hr 10 mins
