Russell Crowe takes no prisoners on Death Train to Yuma
Death Train to Yuma thrives on the tension that unfolds between Christian Bale and Russell Crowe
Russell Crowe in particular shines in Death Train to Yuma in one of his meanest roles. He freely asserts that he is a completely bad person and doesn’t shy away from even the most unscrupulous tricks. Even in captivity, he does everything he can to manipulate the people around him and doesn’t even think about showing mercy.
On the other hand, Christian Bale is of course no less talented actor. The two characters spy on each other, get to know each other, almost become friends and yet are enemies of each other. But that wasn’t all: Death Train to Yuma is excellently cast, right down to the smallest supporting roles.
