3:10 to Yuma Review

3:10 to Yuma: Finally a Western that does not cause Rythemovieguy to yawn. This remake of the 1957 classic stars Russell Crowe and Christian Bale, both of which do a marvelous job. My problem with most Westerns is the lack of story (They all have to do with some poor ranch hand, the railroad, and a prostitute). It always seems like the squabble they have is overblown (like a bad Three’s Company episode). That is not the case here. Yuma comes at you with a tale that pulls you in right away and drags you deeper into the plot as it moves along. In short –a rancher (Bale) agrees to hold an outlaw (Crowe) until they can get him to a train going to……Yuma. All this builds up to a final resolution that is not predictable. Throw in some good shootouts and action and you have yourself a very entertaining film about the old west.
