just having Bale in the farmer role and Crowe in the criminal role tells me the movie is gonna be friggin awesome. Plus peter fonda and Ben foster help to.

Cop Land had Robert DeNiro and Harvey Keitel in it (and Ray Liotta helps too), but it was still mediocre and forgettable.

Walk the Line had Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny [censored] Cash, not to mention Reese Witherspoon.

Identity had Liotta with John Cusack, also helped by John C. McGinley, Alfred Molina, and Amanda Peet -- and it sucked!

I'm telling you, Mangold is the kiss of death. Everything he touches turns to sh|t.
