Despite bad reviews, Kevin Costner is convincing
The Jerico project provided one after a 16-year break Reunion of the two screenwriters David Weisberg and Douglas Cook, who wrote, among other things, The Rock (1996) and Double Murder (1999). The actor trio Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Oldman, who appeared together in front of the camera in JFK – Tatort Dallas in 1991, had an even longer break. After 24 years They met together again on set for the first time.
The film only received a rating of 1 on Rotten Tomatoes 29 percent among the critics and 47 percent of the audience. Christopher Diekhaus complains in his review on Kino-Zeit that the “mediocre ripper“wouldn’t go beyond the genre average. However, he praises it successful action scenes and Costner’s performance.
Hollywood star Kevin Costner delivers a decent performance in an unusually brutal role and gives the cold-hearted killer who only changes slowly refreshingly unpredictable aura.
