    3:10 To Yuma is a remake of the 1957 Glenn Ford western in which an honest rancher injured in the civil war takes on the job of escorting a notorious outlaw to the prison train in order to save his family's ranch from the railroad. This film really does retain the spirit of the o... read moreriginal as it has a real old-fashioned feel to it. The direction is glossy rather than gritty and the story of two contrasting personalities learning mutual respect under adverse circumstances is hardly a new one. But Bale and Crowe put in a couple of great performances, bolstering the rather workmanlike themes; Bale's down at heel working man trying to find some self respect and Crowe's educated and charming but ruthless outlaw spark off some really good chemistry, particularly during the great showdown finale. It probably won't win over anybody who does not like traditional westerns but it's a very well executed and enjoyable tale for those who do.

    After 'The Proposition' I decided to watch another western. The closest one to hand was '3:10 to Yuma', I put it in not expecting much but 2 hours later I was very pleasently pleased.

    First of all '3:10 to Yuma' is better then 'The Proposition', although just as slow towards the... read more begininning '3:10 to Yuma' has a more exciting premise and was more gripping. As well as being a better story '3:10 to Yuma' also has better characters, especially Russel Crowe's character, who is a charasmatic killer who needs to be transported to a train station by a group of police and do-gooders, one of whom is Christian Bale. I have never really been a big fan of Bale, It's not that I think he can't act (I like his films) it's just that he comes across as a bit of a prick, after '3:10 to Yuma' I feel a bit different about the subject though (maybe it's because his character is so nice?)

    Another aspect of the story revolves around Bale's family, his son in particular who believes his fater isn't capable of anything and decides to sneak along behind his father on his journey. Throughout the film you discover how Bale's son is very much like Crowe's character and this makes for an intersting dynamic.

    The film also follows Crowe's old gang who are trying to rescue him and reeking havok at the same time, while this is going on though Crowe's character develops an unlikely connection to Bale's which impacts the rest of the film immensely.

    The end of the film starts of as just a big shootout while Crowe's gang try to rescue him, it turns into something so much better then that, it was like a 'Devil's Rejects' moment and was extremely enjoyable to watch, overall it really wraps up the film nicely.'3:10 to Yuma' is probably the most enjoyable western I have seen to date, it generally surprised me.

    James Mangold's '3:10 to Yuma' may lose its touch at certain spots along the ride, but a visceral climax puts it back on track. The performances are excellent, the cinematography is beautiful, and the suspense is fierce. The film reminds you of classics such as 'High Noon' with i... read morets meaningful use of Time, and 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' with a likable duo and adventurous journey. '3:10 to Yuma' may not pack every possible punch, but when it does, it knocks you off your feet. Another reason why 2007 was a brilliant year for movies.

    3:10 To Yuma is going to be a classic western in a few years, and if you see it you'll know why. 3:10 To Yuma is about a criminal named Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) who gets caught by the law enforcement and is to be sent to a train to Yuma Prison at 3:10. Dan Evans (Christian Bale... read more) is leading the group taking him, and along the way the two men become enemies, friends, and allies. But in the end they must work together to save their skins. The plot is a ingenius thriller and a great action film, and is for hardcore western fans. Russell Crowe and hristian Bale are great together, I can really see them in more movies together because the great intensity on screen was like the Batman/Joker interrogation scene in The Dark Knight, it just blows your mind. Action is great and production is great to make this feel like a legiit western movie, and one of my favorite films.

    Who would have thought Christian Bale in a western movie would be so fantastic? I certainly didn't. But after seeing the movie on USA, God am I impressed. It might very well be the best Western of all time, beating out Ride with the Devil and Billy and the Sundance Kid.

    The mo... read morest important piece in the movie is the relationship between the former soldier and the outlaw is what makes the movie so good. One minute, they'll put a bullet in each other. The next they'd take a bullet for each other.

    While Russell Crowe did a pretty good job, what makes this movie so incredible is Christian Bale. He should have gotten 10 oscars for his role as Dan Evans. It was emotional and very realistic. Logan Lerman was pretty good too, even for a child actor. He does a great job playing a complicated young character. However, who did one of the best jobs? Ben Foster, as the diabolocal outlaw trying to get back Ben Wade. His role is comparable to Heath Ledger as the Joker.

    There were plenty of lines that were extremely powerful and emotional. I admit that I cried when Dan had to tell his son Will to leave him.

    Speaking of Will and Dan, this movie was chocfull of interesting characters. Will has a very interesting love/hate relationship with Dan, and we see that grow into a great respect and friendship later on.

    However, there is one thing keeping this movie from a 100% I didn;t really get the ending, where Russell Crowe goes on the train to his execution. It would have been better if he walked of into the distance or something like that.

    Overrall, Yuma was definately one of the best movies of 2007, and it will have your heart pounding all the way. It has the complexity of the Watchmen, as well as it's appeal. A very, very good movie.

Nothing terribly original happens in this remake of a 1957 semi-classic that starred Glenn Ford and Van Heflin, but everything happens smoothly and with grace. Full Review

Crowe and Bale are a great study in contrasts, yet the two characters develop a grudging respect for each other that enriches the murky morality play that makes up the last half hour. Full Review
