Here's hoping James Mangold's big, raucous, and ultrabloody remake of 3:10 to Yuma leads some moviegoers to check out Delmer Daves's beautifully lean, half-century-old original. That classic Western spun a tale of captured outlaw Ben Wade (Glenn Ford)--deadly but disarmingly affable--and the small-time rancher and family man, Dan Evans (Van Heflin), desperate enough to accept the job of helping escort the badman to Yuma prison. Wade, knowing that his gang will be along at any moment to spring him, works at persuading the ultimately lone deputy to accept a bribe, turn his back on 'duty,' and go home safe and rich to his family. That the outlaw has come to admire his captor intriguingly complicates the suspense. All of the above applies in the new 3:10, but it takes a lot more huffing and puffing to get Wade (Russell Crowe this time) and Evans (Christian Bale) into position for the showdown. Mostly, more is less. To Mangold's credit, his movie doesn't traffic in facile irony or postmodern detachment; it aims to be a straight-up Western and deliver the excitement and charisma the genre's fans are starved for. But recognizing that contemporary viewers might be out of touch with the bedrock simplicity and strength of the genre--not to mention its code of honor--Mangold has supplied both Evans and Wade with a plethora of backstory and 'motivations.' At the overblown action climax, the crossfire of personal agendas is almost as frenetic as the copious gunplay. (By that point the movie has killed more people than the Lincoln County War.) Best thing about the remake is Russell Crowe's Ben Wade, a Scripture-quoting career villain with an artist's eye and a curiously principled sense of whom and when to murder. As his second-in-command, Ben Foster fairly pirouettes at every opportunity to commit mayhem, and Peter Fonda contributes a fierce portrait of an old Wade adversary turned bounty hunter for the Pinkerton detective agency. --Richard T. Jameson

In my opinion The 3:10 to Yuma is better than the original version of the movie. Christian Bale is great as the determined homesteader. Russell Crowe appropriately downplays and humanizes the desparado. This movie is not for the faint of heart. There is a lot of violence and action in the modern version.

3:10 to Yuma (Widescreen Edition)
When I saw the original movie, I was really impressed with Glen Ford's protrayal. But this latest edition is equally well done. The ending was off the chain.

Some may consider this a spoiler for this somewhat farcical western, so you may want to see it before reading this review. However the real spoilers were those who thought they needed to "shmaltz-up" this old western.
It takes a lot of chutzpah to take a classic and think you can hype it up and make it better. The result in this case made it highly improbable, with characters playing with and "fanning" their sixguns. Anyone who has ever fired a handgun knows it's hard enough to hit your ... Read More

I loved it. Russell Crowe and Christian Bale are fabulous. I watched this with my husband one evening after the kids were in bed, and I stayed awake for the whole thing (I'm notorious for falling asleep once a movie begins)! It kept my attention from beginning to end. Great flick.

I'm not huge on westerns, but I eventually get around to 'em if word of mouth is good on this title or that. And I heard good things about "3:10 to Yuma". Also pulling me in was all the talent both in front of and behind the camera. So was it good? Yep.
Excellent scenery, excellent action (of both the realistic and "big summer movie" overblown-but-fun variety), and excellent characterizations make this one a must-see. Simple as that. Other reviews will give you more, but really, that's ... Read More
