Adapted from an early Elmore Leonard story that was previously filmed 50 years earlier, this western stars Christian Bale as a financially desperate man who agrees to escort an outlaw (Russell Crowe) to the train that will bring him to justice. Well-staged action sequences, a tense climax, and some vivid characterizations make this above average. Costars Peter Fonda and, especially, Ben Foster as the nastiest of the outlaw gang give memorable performances.
