This coming from a Movie Star like Kevin Costner carries a great deal of weight. Similar to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Connery was meant to be support to the lead. Costner was cast as Elliot Ness, for God’s sake. The man who takes down Capone. But you don’t add Sean Connery in a supporting role. You cast him, and then you get the hell out of the way, so he can make your picture better.
