Absolutely brilliant
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
I enjoyed this film but I forgot about it the day after watching it. Not sure exactly what that says about how I feel besides it was sufficient to keep my attention. It's probably because it feels a bit generic and predictable at every turn as well as Russel Crowes character getting on my nerves (even though I think he's a great actor). It was well made though.
I can only assume that nobody involved in this movie actually watched the original before deciding to remake it. This garbage bears no resemblance to the original at all. The original is a tour de force in tension and fear as they sit in the hotel room awaiting the train - this makes up most of the 1957 movie; in the remake it forms less than a quarter of the movie and all the tension and dread has been removed. The hero redeems himself by sticking to his principles and wins through; in the remake the hero sticks to his principles and gets killed. As a stand-alone movie its a pretty poor formulaic western with all the usual cliches. An uninspiring story played by uninspired actors - I thought Peter Fonda was the best actor playing the best character but he's only in it 15 minutes. As for adding a kid character who simultaneously gets in the way and saves the day...I can only assume the makers of this turkey also haven't watched several hundred b-movie westerns that use the same plot and have done it to death
This movie has been my watchlist for a long time, and again I've got the chance to watch it serendipitously. I didn't have much expectation, the only thing I wanted to see a mediocre western movie, but it turned out a immersive and exciting movie. Christian Bale and Russell Crowe successfully live up to what I expected from them with their well-depicted characters. I don't want to expatiated on their performance, you'll understand why they are considered among the top actors when you see the movie. Scenario, I can assure you about non-stop action, after some point it doesn't start to make much sense still you continue watch it because of its mesmerizing atmosphere. And there are some illogical decisions that make you think about for a while, probably this is the reason why the some don't like the movie.
Very nice movie to watch, very much enjoyed. Russel Crowe is great and acting is great.
