I saw Kevin Costner on a bus the other day. Sadly he was not seated beside me on the 107, which would have been nice, but stretched across an outside panel looking rugged and extremely handsome in the poster for 3 Days To Kill.

This got me thinking about the last time I saw Costner, which I think was in Mr Brooks, in which he was excellent at portraying a serial killer.

I've never really understood why Hollywood went cold on Kevin, who won hearts and minds with his Dances With Wolves, but then sunk with Waterworld, which is much better than you remember.

There have been movies since, but now director McG (not an acronym for Melbourne Cricket Ground) has cast him as Ethan Renner, an ageing CIA agent who is told he has three months to live while in pursuit of a wanted terrorist called The Wolf.
