absolutely loved it, one of the better films i've seen in a while. Really felt for Dan Evans (Christian Bale), as his struggle to survive and feed his family becomes a financial issue to a personal struggle with pride and courage. I loved the way the film got you to root for Ben Wade (Russell Crow) aswell, without making it a cheesey villain with a good side. There is very little in that film that he does that doesn't directly benefit himself. I usually don't like Russell Crow, but here he does one of his greatest performances.
