One of the few remaining bona fide movie megastars whose reputation precedes them and whose stardom is reminiscent of the glory days of extravagant movie personas, Kevin Costner is one of the most influential actors in Hollywood. Since his acting debut in ’81, the man has relentlessly worked in front of and behind the camera, enthralling fans for years. In fact, he recently directed and acted in the first part of a four-part Western epic, Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter I, one of the 2024 movie flops that could become cult hits in the future.

He has been prolific in every decade of his career, with some of Kevin Costner’s best movies being from the 1990s, and some of his most iconic roles being from the ’80s. The 2000s are the perfect demonstration of his star power, though. Despite having only a couple of strong movies in that decade, nothing could stop his flow. His career can clearly take a hit and keep going, proven by Kevin Costner being in over 50 movies. He has taken weaker box-office performances in his stead and kept going as a top-tier entertainer, actor, director, and producer.

There were perhaps more so bad they’re good movies in the 2000s than in any other decade of cinema. Some of the wildest premises would make their way from the ideation session to the big screen during the 2000s, and the world is simultaneously better and worse off for it. Unfortunately, despite having one of the wildest concepts for a comedy movie that, at the hands of a more skilled director, could have become a campy over-the-top classic, Rumor Has It… falls flat on its face and somehow keeps falling until the final credits.
Attaching a hilarious idea to a classic movie like The Graduate (1967) can create a revisionist comedy. Unfortunately, Rumor Has It… explores a much more taboo concept than The Graduate, and goes a problematic distance with it. Not only does Jennifer Aniston’s character cheat on her fiancé, played by Mark Ruffalo, but she does so with a man, played by Kevin Costner, who she used to think was her father until a few moments before she commits the act of infidelity. Even as a product of its time, Rumor Has It… runs on ground that’s too slippery to sustain it.

Another product of its time, The New Daughter is a broken family-themed drama about a single father grappling with the challenges of parenting adolescent children. Unfortunately, it’s also a creature feature that symbolically uses the sexual awakening of Costner’s character’s daughter as a premise for horror. The horror aspect of The New Daughter turns the premise of a compelling drama into a ridiculous and forgettable movie that feels too much like a product of its time.

Kevin Costner’s The New Daughter’s Ending Explained
Kevin Costner’s The New Daughter is a 2009 horror movie and here’s how the movie ends, who survives and what the final scene really means.
Posts
Kevin Costner looks disinterested in the whole movie, and while the detached style of acting works for the first half of the film, it looks lazy and boring by the time the third act begins. The final twenty minutes of The New Daughter, in which the well-designed creatures finally make them seen, is a relatively action-packed set piece that teases a much better entertainer, but much too late into the movie. It also doesn’t help that almost all the exposition occurs through poorly explored Google searches by Costner’s character, including what being a bad father entails.

A political satire that plays too safe and never offers potent commentary about the corruptness of the politicians in America, featuring an apathetic and apolitical Kevin Costner, Swing Vote tries so hard to talk about social responsibility that it fails to explore the flaws in the American voting and political systems. Costner’s character goes through a predictable arc that ends in a neutral observation which lacks any bite.
Madeline Carroll’s performance as Costner’s daughter is undeniably the best part of Swing Vote. She introduces a touch of sincerity that grounds the ludicrous premise and makes the movie believable. As do the delightfully caricaturish performances by Kelsey Grammar, Stanley Tucci, Nathan Lane, and Dennis Hopper, who play fictional political figures in Swing Vote.

A heist movie with an Elvis impersonator bombing at the box office just months before Ocean’s Eleven (2001) changed heist movies forever is just one of those bizarre movie history moments that come up at trivia nights. Unfortunately, Kevin Costner’s ridiculous get-up isn’t the worst part about his character in 3000 Miles to Graceland — it’s one of Costner’s worst performances in a career that has a dearth of bad acting.
3000 Miles to Graceland is just about good enough to make it onto a list of Kevin Costner’s best action movies.
3000 Miles to Graceland isn’t all bad. For one, it’s not boring. The action set pieces are thrilling, especially the shootout scene featuring Kevin Costner and Ice-T set to music by Spineshank. There are some fun exchanges between Kurt Russell and Kevin Costner, and 3000 Miles to Graceland is just about good enough to make it onto a list of Kevin Costner’s best action movies.

Tom Shadyac
Kevin Costner’s sci-fi movie inspired by The Sixth Sense is often considered the worst movie of his career, with critics giving it a meager 7% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, the movie’s not nearly bad enough to deserve that reputation. It’s dull and doesn’t live up to its potential, but Costner himself is brilliant in it, and the movie has a refreshingly unique premise.
Unfortunately, the execution of Dragonfly isn’t nearly as good as the premise deserves. The movie is carried by Costner’s patient and composed performance as a grieving doctor, but even he can’t save it. For a movie with an emotional setup starring such a talented actor, Dragonfly is too caught up in creating sci-fi lore and committing to the supernatural. This preoccupation draws focus away from the emotionally potent narrative and leaves behind a hollow shell of a movie that should have been much better than it is.

With a chilling premise of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde-like situation, Bruce A. Evans’ psychological murder thriller is a sort of underrated gem lost in obscurity over the years. While it’s a little tonally inconsistent and focuses on the boring characters more than the psychosis of Kevin Costner’s character, who an even more psychotic William Hurt leads on a serial killing rampage, the subplots focused on the murders are well done.

Mr. Brooks is underrated, but it also doesn’t live up to its potential. The violence is presented with music video-style cuts and needle drops that take away from the seriousness and the psychological weight of the moments. The number of side stories that Mr. Brooks tries to tell, from Demi Moore’s character’s divorce, which distracts her from the case, to Dane Cook’s character being a fan but not adding anything meaningful to most of his scenes, betrays a lack of faith in the material on the director’s part.

This sweet dramedy from 2005 features a criminally underappreciated performance by Joan Allen, who portrays bitterness shorn of grace. There’s nothing elegant or pretty about the way she clashes with her family members, and the dramatic tension created between the characters in various states of distress provides the perfect emotional backdrop for The Upside of Anger to unfold.
While there are some side plots that neither goes anywhere meaningful nor really contribute to the main story,The Upside of Angercan seem to meander purposelessly more than it needs to or should. But, things come together well enough with the chemistry between Kevin Costner and Joan Allen treating audiences to a romance worth remembering, and the story moving forward in a hopeful direction. The way every family member learns to love each other, especially Joan’s character again, is heartwarming.

Based on the Cuban Missile Crisis, Thirteen Days is one of the best political thrillers of all time. The approach of a docu-drama to such a narrative could easily become boring, but instead, Roger Donaldson delivers a tense movie where every military maneuver feels like a move on a chess board, and viewers will get invested in watching history unfold before their eyes. Solid performances across the board add a polish to the film that elevates it above its contemporaries in the same genre.
Kevin Costner delivers a compelling performance as the main character of the movie, the personal advisor to John F. Kennedy. While historical accuracy is obviously not a prerequisite or even an expectation of a Hollywood movie, it is particularly jarring to see the movie centered around Costner’s character when he didn’t play that significant a role in the actual Crisis. Nonetheless, the suspense that brings to life the extent to which the world was pushed to the brink of nuclear apocalypse in 1962, makes Thirteen Days a great movie.

15 years before the first episode of Yellowstone aired, Kevin Costner directed and starred in a Western, his best movie of the 2000s. The masterful direction of Open Range and his charming performance as the protagonist establish beyond a doubt that he’s at his strongest in recent times, at least when working in the Western genre. Costner’s character goes through a particularly testing time as his circumstances tempt him to fall back into old habits he had once shaken off.

Costner’s comfort with the genre is apparent from his creative choices that don’t follow many of the customs of the Western established since the ’60s, often considered the greatest decade for the genre. His vision for Open Range involves including moments that don’t add to the tension but flesh out the characters and round out the world as being lived-in. Scenes like the protagonist saving a dog after complaining about the rain for hours don’t often make it into Western movies, but Costner enjoys the fluff, too.
