Christian and Crowe were crack a lacking, just taring up the screen; wonderful performances.

Rating: 10/10 (17 September 2007)

I loved this movie because it reminded me, with sincere passion, that although bad (evil) men spend most of their time being bad and by their actions are bad, there is a capacity and a knowledge of good and to do good, even in the midst of a spoiled and a wasted life. The other reason why I loved this move is that it was such a pleasure to watch professionals enter their characters and refuse to budge even for an instant in front or the camera; such acting forces you to identify with the characters and submerges you deeper into the film.
Christian and Crowe were crack a lacking, just taring up the screen; wonderful performances. Mr Lerman can act; has an uncanny ability of putting on an alter ego and reducing his own; hope to see a lot more from him in the future. Peter Fonda gave a certain old school credence to this film. A lot of modern film lack texture due to the box office draw of pretty boys and healthy hunks; Fonda certainly gave this film depth and time perception.
James Mangold cannot make a western but he is a good story teller. This film looked too new and pretty, the film was too clear, the sets were too new and not dusty enough; no one chewed tobacco and their were no prostitutes or mangy dogs; everything was just a little too polished. Good casting and good filming of the story, only the ability to create real fear and danger was almost non existent.
