3:10 to Yuma
Rent & Buy
In Arizona in the late 1800s, infamous outlaw Ben Wade and his vicious gang of thieves and murderers have plagued the Southern Railroad. When Wade is captured, Civil War veteran Dan Evans, 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.
What critics thought
James Mangold's remake landed with critics as a lean, confident Western that improves on its 1957 source, with Russell Crowe and Christian Bale drawing nearly universal praise for a central dynamic that keeps the tension taut. The main fault line in reviews runs through the ending, which some found earned and others found baffling, and a secondary debate over whether Bale's austere style holds its own against Crowe's magnetic charisma.
“much of this Western is tense and intricately wrought.”
David Denby·The New Yorker
“lean, almost absurdly satisfying.”
Ty Burr·The Boston Globe
“his hyperrealistic performance is a drag next to Crowe's dapper prince of darkness.”
Peter Rainer·The Christian Science Monitor
“It is more in the vein of Anthony Mann's Westerns of the 1950s — trim, efficiently paced, full of briskly stated conflicts that edge up to the dark side, but never fully embrace it.”
