The 1st action sequence is great but then the rest of the movie never manages to top or even match it.

Neither Crowe nor Bale are particularly great in their roles either. Ben Foster steals scenes from both of them the whole movie. Peter Fonda phones in his limited screen time. It's not terrible but I thought it'd be a bit better. There's a certain cameo that almost puts it on the American Outlaws level. The sound effects are great & certain scenes really work while others kinda fall flat on their face. It's worth a matinee tho & maybe I'm just too picky. I usually love almost everything Crowe & Bale do but both of their performances were uneven here.
