Gripping and ripping remake of the 1957 Western about a small-time rancher (Christian Bale) escorting a murderous outlaw (Russell Crowe) to a rendezvous with the law and a train that will take him to prison. Meanwhile, the desperado's henchmen try to head them off and free their leader, because without him they're "like a pack of dogs without a master." Directed by James Mangold, from a 1953 short story by Elmore Leonard. Ben Foster, Gretchen Mol, Dallas Roberts, Alan Tudyk, Peter Fonda.
