It's graphic in you get to see the bullet holes and blood --it's not sexually graphic --

violent? It's a violent story of a violent time -- they shoot each other, so that's the violence in it. It is NOT hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys and the lesson for the 14 year old son in the movie is it NOT as easy to shoot a man as it is to talk about it.

I saw the movie tonight. It was one of the best I've seen in quite awhile.
Mostly I'm disappointed in today's movies, but not this time.

I don't think I've ever seen Russell Crowe before, or if I did, I
don't remember. He was excellent in this movie, and the way I love
horses, I was impressed with is horsemanship. And the fellow, Charlie...
who was he? He too impressed me with his acting and horsemanship.

Oh and the dad, and the son, I don't remember ever seeing them before. No matter, it was just a good movie with really good acting. I don't know how the original could have been better.

Does anyone know where it was filmed?

I'm not positive but Im fairly certain it as filmed in NM --the scenery was quite recognizable.

Yep, LOVED the acting in this movie --Like you FH, I was NOT disappointed in any of it! --except that it ended.

Edit: ....it WAS filmed entirely in New Mexico
the guy that played Charlie was Ben Foster who played in a lot of things, not of which I ever watched (Six feet under, XMen, the Last Stand, Alpha Dog, 30 days of Night)

Crowe has been around a good long time but maybe not in movies you have seen? He was in the remake of the Quick and the Dead, Gladiator, The Insider (Tobacoo industry film), one I can't remember the name to (It was about a mathmatician who had a mental disorder that made him see other people, an okay moive if not entirely accurate) and than Master and Commander and a few more.. I bet my mother in law would know, she is a big fan :shock: :lol:

He suppossedly lives on a ranch down in Australia and actualy runs cattle but you know how that works with the actors and such who own ranches in the

Yeah, I think he was in that too.. Haven't been to the theatre in almost 9 years probably so I don't even follow what is going on anymore.. When it comes out on TV or whatever I might watch it..

The Gladiator, one of my all-time favorite movies! FH, you gotta see it! I've seen it countless times, own it on DVD. It still makes me tear up every time. :cry:

OK, now I'm going to get The Gladiator.
If he is an Austrailan rancher, that is perhaps why he rode as well
as he did. And he rode two-handed, which I appreciate, with an
excellent head-set on his horse. None of that jerk and pull stuff that
so many actors do. Tom Selleck is another one that I have a lot of
admiration for his horsemanship.

Funny, I watched all those westerns as a kid and never noticed what
happened to those horses heads when they were asked to stop or turn.
I can't hardly bear to watch them anymore because of that. Sometimes
it's better not to know certain things!!

I realize that ranchers can't do a lot of things horseback while riding two-handed and I don't expect them to. There is a time and a place for everything. Russell Crow was just loping along and it looked so nice...

There was an episode of American Chopper filmed in Australia, where the Teutles went to Russell Crow's ranch. They didn't show horses, being a motorcycle show, but they did show his cattle. They were black Angus from the look of it.

We're hoping to see 3:10 to Yuma on Friday. Looking forward to it. :D
