This role/movie sounds perfect for Crowe! I will look forward to seeing it, too! Maybe Russell has gotten back to acting and leaving the spoiled schtick to Britney, Paris et al. I find Christian Bale a very interesting actor, too. Bonus!

I grew up on westerns and burned out after awhile, but now I find they formed me a bit more than I thought. I respond to them on a gut level I was totally unaware of till I watched "Red River" again a couple of years ago, and - click - 'got it' suddenly, despite the testosterone, or perhaps because of it...

Thanks for the review!
