Great looking movie

I have a theory that any movie with a train scene is worth seeing. The silver mining details all went a little over my head, the plot is so-so with lots of fighting and things being smashed. The plot never really led anywhere although there is plenty of action and the climax is terrific. The whole movie though looks gorgeous with really attractive locations. An early scene with a steam train carrying logs comes around a bend was stunningly eye-catching. Worth seeing for that alone.
