fantastic dialogue

Rating: 9/10 (11 September 2007)

This film not only has great acting by two ultra-fine professionals in Bale and Crowe but has wonderful dialogue that unravels the story and explains the action taken by each character. Logic would dictate one to ask why Crowe is running across alley ways and riding quickly with the posse toward the gallows- but the dialogue explains all of it while creating a larger scope of who these characters are. The dialogue was wonderful and concise in so many aspects. In fact, there are 3 or 4 separate verbal exchanges Christian Bales' character has that so perfectly develops the essence of the character I can not describe it as anything less than poetry! This film is excellent and is no boundaries for which audience would appreciate it- it is a great date film regardless of age or gender.
