This remake of a spaghetti western is excellent. Christian Bale delivers a typically excellent performance as a down on his luck rancher. Russell Crowe also delivers a solid performance as the romantic bad guy.
The plot has all of the stock western elements. The pacing was a little slow in places, but overall excellent. The cinematography was also great.
It would have done much better had it not been released in the same year as No Country for Old Men and There Will be Blood. It was just of the same caliber.
