Kevin Costner's folly? This movie is hardly as bad as a whole lot of critics think. As for scenery...the water is beautiful. Costner plays Mariner, a mutant man-fish of sorts who helps survivors find the mythical Dryland. The earth has been flooded by the melting polar ice caps. The bad guys in this floating action drama is a band of hooligans called The Smokers , led by the dastardly wicked Deacon(Dennis Hopper). Mariner aids a woman(Jeanne Tripplehorn)and her daughter(Tina Majorino), who happens to have a map to the Dryland tattooed on her back. Not exactly riveting, but episodes of loud action. Some of the violence is pretty harsh and to some may be disturbing. 135 minutes may be too much to endure. Costner may have shot the wad and diminished his star power with this one. Also in the cast: Chaim Girafi, Michael Jeter, Kim Coates, Robert A. Silverman, R.D. Call and Jack Black.
