Good acting, good cast, awful third act

Rating: 4/10 (18 June 2013)

Was looking forward to watching Bale and Crowe in this, they put in a good performance with the added bonus of Dallas Roberts who I first saw in The Walking Dead and I always enjoy the comic relief of Alan Tudyk. So I don't need to tell the story as its described above but I think this movie could of been edited a lot shorter, maybe even cut half an hour off. Okay so when Wade and Dan start running from their hideout, why does Wades gang all start firing upon them?? Like Wades gang has travelled so far to catch him and instead of just storming the place and taking their leader back, they just start shooting at him in hopes of shooting his captor. Then of course it's such a silly ending that Evans dies then Wade kills his whole gang, then he gets on the train to go to prison so the audience thinks he's taking responsibility of his wrong doings. But that is just thrown on its head a few seconds later when he calls his horse from the train so he is obvs just gonna get off and escape. Like he wasn't a redeemable character at all, Evans died because his gang was after him, so the hero of the film died just because Wade was bored and wanted to travel across the wild West pissing people off and killing folks.
Also Christian Bales character was supposed to have his leg blown off and had a wooden replacement. yet he was clearly bending it at multiple points during the film. this movie defo doesn't deserve the rating it has.
