‘Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter One’ Review: Kevin Costner Gets Thrown From His Horse in Muddled Western Epic

The Hollywood Reporter David Rooney Sunday, 19 May 2024 19:00
  • Unique Points
    • Kevin Costner stars in Horizon: An American Saga as a taciturn loner who begins to tie together various storylines.
    • Despite harsh conditions and extreme danger involved in the expansion of the West, wagon trains of new settlers continue to arrive.
  • Accuracy
    • Kevin Costner premiered his western film 'Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1' at Cannes.
    • The budget for the film is over $90 million and it is planned as part one of a four-part saga.
    • Costner received a standing ovation from the crowd after the screening that lasted around ten minutes.
    • Costner had a messy break from the hit show 'Yellowstone' due to the complicated production of 'Horizon'
    • Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 was initially planned as a mini-series but became four films instead
  • Deception (30%)
    The article contains several examples of deception through selective reporting and emotional manipulation. The author expresses his personal opinions about the film's quality and length, implying that the audience should share his viewpoint. He also implies that the Indigenous characters are 'the bad guys' by stating 'We’re well into Horizon before the perspective on Native resistance is broadened to acknowledge that their murderous attacks on new settlements are a direct response to the occupation of their ancestral lands.' This statement manipulates emotions by presenting Native Americans as violent and uncivilized, without providing any context or justification for their actions. Additionally, the author selectively reports information by focusing on the negative aspects of the film while ignoring its positive elements.
    • It plays like a limited series overhauled as a movie, but more like a hasty rough cut than a release ready for any format.
    • The sprawling new frontier tale, Horizon: An American Saga, is such a clumsy slog.
    • Despite the harsh conditions and extreme danger involved in the expansion of the West, wagon trains of new settlers keep coming.
  • Fallacies (75%)
    The article contains several instances of ambiguous language and a lack of clear connection between certain plot threads. This can be seen as an informal fallacy known as 'ambiguity'. The author also makes assumptions about the motivations of Native American characters without providing sufficient context or evidence, which could be considered a form of hasty generalization or stereotyping. Additionally, there are several instances where the author expresses their own opinions and interpretations of the film rather than sticking strictly to reporting on its content. This can be seen as a violation of the analysis rules.
    • It plays like a limited series overhauled as a movie, but more like a hasty rough cut than a release ready for any format.
    • Despite the harsh conditions and extreme danger involved in the expansion of the West, wagon trains of new settlers keep coming.
    • Any of these plotlines might have sustained an hour of compelling television but they don’t add up to much in this awkwardly stitched quilt, which rarely provides the space for anyone’s experiences to resonate.
