Yeah sneaking up in a farmhouse in the Dakota's with no dogs barking, right .. repeated gaffes by the screenwriters to keep the suspense going is rediculous; everytime something can go wrong for Costner's character during the rescue it does - just because .. but he somehow gets out of it .. insults the intelligence.

Kevin Reynart - I - and most other people and critics - couldn't disagree with you more. This is a fantastic film that has already spanned decade since release, and still regarded well. The 'pace' builds masterfully well - until we are stunned by incredible special effects, a masterpiece of a musical score, great acting, and just masterful directing. As the late Roger Ebert described, it was one the best films of that year.
