 You will enjoy it even if you don't like westerns Aug 25, 2008
This movie was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. The actors were all perfectly casted. As you are watching the movie you have that edge of your seat feeling. You stay connected, never feel like the movie is too slow and when it ends, you want to play it again. I am not a fan of westerns, but Russell Crowe delivers an amazing performance! His character is charming, caring, but yet still a bad guy, and you can't help but like him. I laughed and cried watching it. I would love to see a 3:10 to Yuma II, cause you just don't want it to end. You won't feel like you wasted your time and money if you buy this movie!! Far better than Jessie James and Cold Mountain!

nice try at a great film ,maybe they should stick to new idea's rather than remaking the old.
One of the Greatest Modern Westerns Aug 18, 2008
An absolutely perfect western, I have tried to find something I dislike about this movie and I've come up with nothing. Christian Bale and Russell Crowe are outstanding in this powerful reinvention of an already good film and story. Bale plays Dan Evans, a down-on-his-luck rancher and Civil War veteran looking for a way to prove himself to his family and earn enough money to buy his land in order to fend off the owner and his gang of thugs. Opportunity knocks when he earns the chance to transport a ruthless outlaw, Ben Wade, played to charming perfection by Russell Crowe, to a 3:10 train on its way to a prison in Yuma.
The journey is not a simple one as the outlaw outsmarts, outwits, and even seems unshaken by every member of his transport crew. While trying to keep ahead of Wade's fellow outlaws, the group also faces Indians and vigilantes.
The best stories are those in which the characters change and grow as the story unfolds. This is definitely true of this movie and Bale and Crowe show their characters' evolutions flawlessly. In the touching moment when Bale confesses the true motivation for his choices, everything changes for both men.
This is one of the best films I have ever seen and may even be my favorite western of all time.
The Best Of Westerns, Crowe, and Bale Aug 09, 2008
While the premise of this western is fairly straightforward, it is anything but simple thanks to two actors who give us their absolute best.
Russell Crowe, playing a role he was born for, is Ben Wade, a charming, debonair, magnetic thief and murderer. Christian Bale plays Dan Evans, a dismembered Civil War veteran and small-time rancher on the verge of losing everything. When the two men's worlds collide, Bale has a chance at making some money if he can only get the captured Crowe on the 3:10 train to Yuma.
Though Crowe is technically the villain, you can't help but root for him when he clashes with everyone but Bale, whose desperation to provide for his family and capture some self-respect in the process is heart breaking. The audience can't help but hope against hope that Bale becomes the man he so acutely wants to be. At times it seems even Crowe's character is rooting for Bale, thus making his role as "villain" all the more ambiguous.
The sheer acting of these two men and the charisma they emit makes the movie speed along. It has moments of terrible violence, light-hearted comedy, pure drama, and suspense that will make you feel as though someone is sitting on your heart.
I completely recommend you watch this movie. If you are a fan of westerns, Crowe, or Bale, you will not go disappointed, because 3:10 to Yuma is an example of the best of each. If you're a fan of none of those things, I dare you to check it out anyway, because I bet you'll be won over by the time you're finished.

Not bad for a western Jul 24, 2008
I'm not a big western fan. And for me it took a moment to get into this film despite it starting off with the burning down of Evan's family barn. I do find it interesting to have an Australian and a British actor cast as leads in an American Western. What won me over is the character arch for these characters. I didn't see that Wade just suddenly liked Evans and wanted to help him out. I saw a man who wanted to be caught-who wanted to be taken back to Yuma. I got the sense that he was tired of the life. In Evan, I think he saw who he wished his own father could have been and wondered if Evan had the conviction he thought he had. I think he was moved by Evan's desire to finally be a man his family could be proud of-not just some wounded veteran who couldn't feed or provide for his family. Once I recognized this layer connecting the men, I became intrigued. Sure there are a couple places where you have to suspend disbelief-but I didn't mind it so much. I think I'll now check out the original and compare. Bottom line, I highly recommend this film.
