Kevin Costner bets on himself again in 'Swing Vote'

KEVIN COSTNER'S “ Swing Vote” tells the story of an apathetic man floating through life, happy to play whatever cards life deals him. Costner's approach to making the film couldn't have been more different: Rather than watch the Capra-esque fable about a deadlocked election drift away, the actor stepped up to invest more than $21 million of his own money to finance it.
