Bale and Crowe are brilliant...Foster is amazing.

Rating: 9/10 (2 September 2007)

A lot of people are glad that Hollywood does not come out with many westerns anymore...but I am not one of them and this movie proves that there need to be more. Crowe and Bale are absolutely astounding in the way that their characters develop and mirror each other. It's as if they are shadowy reflections of each other. Where each falls short the other stands up...this becomes extremely relevant as the movie progresses. As amazing as the two of them are Ben Foster dazzles the viewer in the role of Charlie Prince. What is seemingly a flat character becomes so much more through Foster's acting. Watch his eyes at the film's final moments...the hint of a tear is enough to break my heart. Go see this movie.
