A solid five out of ten....you've seen most of it before: hard luck cattle rancher (Bale) is desperate to save his land from the railroad so he signs on to take a super desperado (Crowe) to a prison train headed for Yuma. Never mind that Crowe's gang is composed of homicidal psychos hell bent on freeing him at any cost of human lives. Yep, lots of killing and fighting along the way to the train and a few unique twists at the end of the story.
The cinematography didn't seem particularly interesting and the dialogue was less than scintillating. The end credits were really "cheap" so I think this film didn't have a major budget despite its stars.
Peter Fonda is almost unrecognizable and Luke Wilson cameos as a less than moral deputy. I perked up when Vinnesa Shaw appeared on screen but, unlike "Eyes Wide Shut", we only see a bared shoulder.
I'm not too enthused over this film...the theater was loaded up with boomer types and we got our violence quota so I suppose it served its purpose.
