terrific western!

Rating: 9/10 (11 October 2008)

I give it a 9 out of 10.
Russell Crowe was brilliant and so was Christian Bale.
Terrific action sequences although the ending puzzled me.
It might have been better if Crowe really tried to escape, but somehow prevented Bale from being killed in the end.
They're always trying to go dark to stay edgy, but sometimes this sacrifices story-points.
Cinematography was excellent and production design very good.
Every bit of this film was wonderful.
Made you laugh. Made you cry.
The best western film I've seen.
