Russell, whose track record in shoot 'em-ups is no less than Stallone or Arnie, is likewise coming off some hound dog roles, such as being an automated soldier, a remake of his Escape from New York (LA? Why'd anyone want to go there in the first place?) and the sci-fi Stargate. Costner is always on the leafy edge, whether he's dancing with wolves, building baseball fields for ghosts or water-skiing as bait for sea monsters. So, I submit that what we have here is the COSTNER and RUSSELL Revenge vehicle. From my view, both vehicles were ghastly but entertaining. Well, let's go back a year or so when Russell and Costner both made Wyatt Earp films, playing the title roles. Now, they're complaining because Russell and Costner- especially the latter- are too violent. But, in any film, we have to consider the level at which we're willing to 'buy in.' I mean, some people were outraged at the farting scenes in Shrek. This is one of the funniest, outrageous films I've seen in a long time. How much more lead in do you want? You expect, action, thrills and. A film is advertised as Elvises robbing a Las Vegas casino during an Elvis convention. Scrolling through the 135+ comments, I'm amazed at how outraged so many viewers are at the 'excessive violence,' 'explicit sex,' 'foul language,' etc., etc., etc.
