The flop Western, Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1, is a bloated and bloviating three-hour epic that interweaves stories about settlers and indigenous peoples facing violent resistance. The film interweaves stories about settlers in a remote Arizona settlement, where an Apache raid decimates the place. The film's bloated and bloviating nature raises questions about its potential for success.
Horizon, a film by Kevin Costner, is a slack, boring, and moronically regressive portrayal of the Native American experience in the West. The film features two massacres, the Apaches who wipe out the Horizon settlement and the revenge massacre led by white survivors. The film also features indigenous characters, such as Tuaheseh and Pionsenay, who face off against their militant son, Pionsenay, who led the Apache massacre at Horizon. However, critics argue that the film represents Costner's shaky RINO political stance and the celebratory Western genre. The film also takes some of the qualities of traditionalist Western filmmaker John Ford, but the disturbance doesn't come across. Overall, Horizon is a slack and boring Western that fails to capture the Native American experience in a meaningful way. #
