Well I am somewhat disappointed to find out this film is a remake. Though I guess one of my favorite films Movie Review The Razor's Edge, has a better remake than it's original. I didn't really intend to watch this one. The genre tends to bore me.
Russell Crowe and Christian Bale explore the nature of badness as a small town rancher helps transport a wanted man to a prison train. The two men come to an understanding over the course of the hazardous trip. The actors express the subtle shades of being human. Though one man is clearly good and the other clearly bad, we are made aware that even a bad guy loves his mama.
Crowe makes you like him and Bale brings up pity. You sit and think they're no match for each other. Until you begin to realize the subtle power Bale's character has, the quiet man with a big moral stick, that does what he says he'll do. No matter what.
Look in Coos Bay, North Bend, Dora or Bandon for this wonderful drama.

PS I tried to see if the library has the original 1957 Glen Ford film and there's a listing for the VHS, but it doesn't tell anything about what branch it's at. Strangeness.
