Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here and, although the headline sounds like I’m going to go off on Kevin Costner’s latest western Magnum Opus, I can assure you that I am not! For the most part, I’m an admirer of Kevin Costner and his passion for two subjects uniquely American: westerns and baseball. Yet in starring, writing, and directing this film, the first in a four film epic journey, Costner’s first chapter, while gorgeously shot, threatens to be little more than a three hour handshake with a multitude of characters we don’t really get to know! Maybe it will all come together nicely by the end, but as a standalone film, “Horizon: An American Saga- Chapter One” plays like a complex jigsaw puzzle with a bunch of missing pieces!
