Last Train To Dullsville

Rating: 5/10 (3 February 2008)

** THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS ** This film had me until the end and then it completely fell apart. Good acting, good photography, great settings... but from the time they arrive in Yuma until the end the film falls into the realm of the incredible. I can take a leap of faith along with the best of them, but this requires that you wear blinders.
Here is Ben Wade trying to escape the entire film, telling everyone that they are going to die at the hands of his gang unless they let him go. He fights, he kills he offers money... and then what does he do. He cooperates with Bale completely. It's almost as Bale was protecting him at the end in a game of 'capture the flag'. There are several scenes in the hotel room when Crow is alone with Bale and Bale turns his back on him. Not to hard to hit him and roll out the window.
Then the running through the streets and Crow telling Bale "look out" when a man tries to kill him? C'mon. But the most incredulous scene of all is after Bale gets shot and Crow guns down his whole crew, then surrenders his guns and peacefully hops on the prison train. Yes, I know he whistled for his horse which leads us to believe he is going to escape, but c'mon... the guy is suppose to be this ruthless killer and we're suppose to believe that after a few days on the trail with Bale he sees the errors of his ways and does this 180.
Could have been good, but the ending required a little more thought. IMO.
