3:10 To Yuma (2007)
description written by member Zara:
In Arizona in the late 1800's, infamous outlaw Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) and his vicious gang of thieves and murderers have plagued the Southern Railroad. When Wade is captured, Civil War veteran Dan Evans (Christian Bale), struggling to survive on his drought-plagued ranch, volunteers to deliver him alive to the "3:10 to Yuma", a train that will take the killer to trial. On the trail, Evans and Wade, each from very different worlds, begin to earn each other's respect. But with Wade's outfit on their trail - and dangers at every turn - the mission soon becomes a violent, impossible journey toward each man's destiny. The movie is a remake of the 1957 Western toplining Glenn Ford.

The old Hollywood Western is alive and well if audiences want it. Movie Westerns have stayed away from the Cineplex for a long time except for a few popping up here and there over the last few decades. With 3:10 to Yuma, the Western is riding high in the saddle onto the silver screen in full glory.

'3:10 To Yuma' starring Russel Crowe and Christian Bale is nothing short of amazing. Not just as a remake, but as a return to the western genre which had died in the years of John Wayne. Honestly, I never had a really strong desire to see this movie, basically because I dont particularly enjoy the western genre to much,...

I really hate remakes. They take a good foreign film and put in some WB stars and it is never as good as the original. Even The Departed, with a stellar cast list. was not as good as Infernal Affairs. So, I really didn't expect a lot from a remake of a great western, even though I am a Christian Bale fan and really wanted...
