Very good but hoped some more dedication from Bale.

Rating: 7/10 (21 December 2007)

I really enjoyed this movie. Nowadays it is pretty hard to make a good western but this one surely is. Everyone who hasn't seen it, start thinking about it because believe me, its worth your money and time. But I don't want to talk much about the film, lets talk more about the actors now.
Russell Crowe - Well, as always, you can expect a superb performance from him, although he didn't much surprise. He's character wasn't that hard to play either.. but characters in western never are.
Ben Foster - I can't begin explaining how amazed I am. He just jumped out of nowhere with hes performance. Although he had a major role in Alpha Dog, it wasn't a big movie. I think he will have a huge acting career.
Christian Bale - For a long time, he was one of my favourite actors but that rising sled is falling. He hasn't given a good performance since Prestige. Hes still good, but not as good as he used to be.
