I just saw this on the tube, complete with commercial breaks, and even so it was a great movie. I'm not a Christian Bale fan (he killed Batman), but he stepped up his game in this one. He had to, playing alongside Russell Crowe, who could get an Academy Award for just about any role he plays -- and this was a strong one.

All of the acting was great IMO. Maybe I'm not critical enough, but the movie had me drawn into it. I take that as a sign that it was superb.

This is a remake of an old and old-fashioned classic. Don't see many of this kind anymore. If you haven't see this, I recommend it highly.

If only Crowe didn't whistle for his horse at the end ...

I thought it was pretty good until the ending ... - Mike K 09:26:23 04/17/10 (5)
which was ridiculous. And that train ... it wasn't even close to being
accurate for the time or place ... and the unfinished construction ...
Otherwise, I too enjoyed the film.

I do agree with you about Russell Crowe. The man is a master actor,
on a par with Nicholson.

  ...a terrific film until the preposterous ending.

    Oh, if only it were an obscure foreign film seen by 10 people, it would have been perfect! :-)
    
    I didn't care much for it either. Crowe was, as usual, good. Too bad he is such a dick.

  without spoiling the ending, all I will say is that a complete 180 degree change was preposterous. The ending fit into an entirely different movie.
