Yee-hah! What a movie! December 12, 2007 KM (England) 45 out of 50 found this review helpful
'3:10 to Yuma' is the adaption from Elmore Leonard's novel and is also a remake of the 1957 film of the same name. The film begins when rancher Dan Evans (Christian Bale) heads into Bisbee to clear up issues concerning the sake of his land when he witnesses a stagecoach robbery, lead by famous outlaw Ben Wade (Russell Crowe). Then, with the help of Evans, Wade is captured by the law in Bisbee and Evans is one of the escorts who will take Wade to the 3:10 to Yuma train in Contention for the reward of $200. Evans' quest for taking Wade to the station is not only for saving for his land but an inner battle that he can be more than just a naive rancher in the eyes of his gunslinging son William Evans. The transport to Contention is hazardous and filled with ambushes from Indians, pursuits by Wade's vengeful gang and Wade's own conniving.

br /I've not watched a great deal of Westerns, so I didn't really know what to expect from this film, but I watched it anyway as it was directed by James Mangold who also directed some of my recent favourites, Cop Land, Walk the Line and Identity and I was not disappointed by '3:10 to Yuma' at all. The action and excitement is heavy from the get-go and the acting is just top-notch. The standout actor here has to be Russell Crowe who plays the cocky, confident and ruthless outlaw Ben Wade absolutely perfectly. I've never been much of a fan of Crowe but after watching this I wondered what I'd been missing as I thought he did a superb performance. Christian Bale plays Dan Evans very well, although I felt the character itself was rather a let-down as opposed to Bale's acting, as this definitely wasn't his best role I've seen him in. Ben Foster, who plays Wade's right-hand man, Charlie Prince is also an extremely talented actor who I'd seen in some of his previous films like The Punisher, X-Men 3, Hostage and 30 Days of Night and this is without a doubt his most stand-out performance of them all.

br /Overall this is an excellent film all round that is just non-stop from start to finish and even makes you route for the bad guy the whole way through. Definitely one of the best films of 2007 and will no doubt be one of the best DVDs of 2008. Highly recommended.

Superb movie August 10, 2008 B. Taylor (Eastbourne, UK) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I rented this movie on Blu ray and the picture quality and sound track are fantastic; I've never heard such realistic gunshots on my surround system. I have seen the original version of 3-10 to Yuma, but this version is far superior; I thought that Russel Crowe's acting was very convincing. I finished up wanting to own this movie, so despite having rented it, I purchased it.
Stunning June 23, 2009 Tom Roe (Steel City) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This movie is a perfect example that the Western genre is not dead, with Christian Bale and Russel Crowe putting in amazing performances.

I was very surprised by this brilliant western.
br /The image is crisp the sound is brilliant and it takes you back to the good old days like "The good the bad and ugly. The performance of Russel Crowe is very good as the bad guy and the music hits the right tone.
br /I would not doubt about this movie just buy it and you will not regret it.
