An Actors Profile Part 4

January 9th Kevin Costner in...
THE POSTMAN

I want to cut out my eyes and have someone step on them so that I can't even accidentally see a single frame of this abomination that is called film again. Ok perhaps I'm being a bit over dramatic but this film is bad and I don't want any of you being suckered in without knowing what your getting into. We begin with Costner heading around the barren post apocalyptic wasteland of America after something terrible has happened. He goes from place to place performing theater and getting what little food he can. He is suddenly drafted into an army by a ruthless general (Will Patton) who is bent on keeping former America set in the futile system with his band of soldiers riding about terrorizing the local towns. Costner escapes the army and finds an abandon Post Office truck and take the clothes off the body. He comes to the next town posing as a postman telling the town that the USA has gotten back on track and is becoming a nation again. The film the tells about how Costner lead the battle with the Postmen to fight the evil army Patton is leading.
The film in a word "SUCKS" and I can't say much more then that without getting mad and going into Hulk smash mode.
Once again Costner attempts to surround himself with better performers but this time none of them can out act the ludicrously bad plot of the film. Also most of them are B rate TV stars and people who haven't been in enough to hold up this terrible film. The only person who really has any sort of chops in this is Patton as the maniac general.
My biggest problem is that the film follows into so many bad cliches and scenes that you can see coming a mile off.
The film overall is just bad and has bad pacing so I don't know what else to say about this film other then WORST COSTNER FILM EVER.
Lets hope the next film we see can shuffle its way back into our hearts.
