Kevin Costner has made his share of "el stinkos" but this one is a pleasant surprise. It has a story and works toward telling it and has a neat ending. What else does one ask for these days for eight bucks?
Believe me the "New Age" trend is not without pit falls. The Sixth Sense was only good for a single showing and then you got the whole planet knowing the "catch". At least in Dragonfly the zinger isn't the whole trick. There was one thing that did sort of bug me. The indigenous natives show up in one scene with AK-47's in hand while in full native feathers and ear pierces. Next they are in a near stone age village with wooden spears and long arrow bows. I wondered where the AK-47 guys were?
This is an OK movie and sure Kathy Bates is rather wasted as are some other fairly neat roles such as the pilot of the small plane....But that is what you get these days with the inmates running the asylum. A big name star picks a script and it becomes a movie...or does it????
