Reeling from one post-apocalyptic damp squid into another, Costner's credibility suffered again with this flick. Although Waterworld deserved the panning it received, however, this isn't too bad at all, and actually tells rather an engaging and patriotic story. It's just a shame judicious nipping and tucking didn't take place to deliver a sub-two hour story, as the bloated running time is a major setback.
Costner is as oak-like as ever, but at least he's backup up by some decent supporting players (particularly Patton and Williams) who bring some much-needed humanity to what is a fairly cringe-worthy premise.
