I thought the remake of 3:10 to Yuma with Rusell Crow and Christian Bale was great.

Try Thief with James Caan. One of my all-time favs. It's currently on Showtime in HD.

Are you serious? The whole movie was the human torch on Statham doing a pile of coke in a bathroom of someone elses and stalking and embrrassing himself while pathetically trying to get her back.

No offense. 

Biel was hot though.........
