Excellent movie. Kudos for Russell Crowe and company

Rating: 10/10 (22 September 2007)

For a remake of a movie that was made fifty years ago, this is an excellent movie. Usually remakes are lemons. Not so with this one. This is an excellent movie, with great acting, solid script and beautiful cinematography. Russell Crowe once again proves that he is one of the great actors and the rest of the cast give great performances too, especially Ben Foster and Peter Fonda. Now regarding Mr. Fonda, his presence improves any movie. What a wonderful actor. But what raises this movie to a higher level is the story, which is part High Noon and part Good,Bad,Ugly. Tuco would have been at home in this movie. If you like well-acted, well-scripted movies, then this movie is for you.
