A decent Western, attractive mainly because of the acting duel between the straight-shooting Bale and the untamed Crowe.

Gammaldags västern, gjord med ny energi och mycket sevärda skådespelare.

...selvom man har set bedre, flottere og dybere westerns end denne, er der tale om en omgang god gammeldags revolverramasjang.

...restores the wounded heart of the Western and rescues it from the morass of pointless violence.

...is a typical psychological Western, a lean, rangy black-and-white film as much about what its protagonists are thinking as what they're actually doing.
