Description
Arizona in the late 1800s. Infamous outlaw Ben Wade and his vicious gang of thieves and murderers have plagued the Southern Railroad. When Wade is captured, Civil War veteran Dan Evans, struggling to survive on his drought-plagued ranch, volunteers to deliver him alive to the train that will take the killer to trial. On the trail, Evans and Wade, each from very different worlds, begin to earn each other's respect. But with Wade's outfit on their trail, and dangers at every turn, the mission show more soon becomes a violent, impossible journey toward each man's destiny. show lessTags

Having just recently seen the 1957 original with Glenn Ford, I didn't believe this 2007 remake with Russell Crowe could possibly match it. But I really am not sure having seen both now which one I prefer. The 2007 film is darker, more violent, grittier--and more complex. I'm don't know which is closer to the original Elmore Leonard story.
Both films have the same basic plot, mostly the same characters, at times even the same lines. But, among other differences in the remake there's a father/son dynamic completely missing in the version with Ford. I still think Ford's performance is the more amazing--but not by much--Russell Crowe is a fine actor--a favorite in fact, but he brings a very different energy to the role. In any case, unlike show more a High Noon remake I saw recently, I wasn't constantly thinking, oh, what a waste. Instead I found it just as involving. show less
