Rented this last night and i'm pleased to report it delivered a very entertaining couple of hours. This is a western from the old skool - everything about it is grizzled and captures the spirit of the time. Crowe gives a good performance as the well mannered but vicious killer and Bale is equally steady as the down on his luck farmer/former soldier trying to do the right thing for his family. The story moves along at a good pace and all the characters are believable and engaging. If you're a western fan, this would be a great addition to your collection. If not, I still recommend renting it and seeing what's on offer. I was very impressed.
