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

A rancher struggles to support his ranch and family during a long drought. Desperately needing money to build a well, he takes an assignment to transport a notorious felon, in the hands of authorities, to Yuma for imprisonment. But, once the two meet, the criminal tries to tempt him with--in exchange for allowing him to escape--an offer of much more money than the rancher ever expected, the result of a hidden loot. A sturdy and enjoyable remake that was extremely well-acted and well-directed.
 Terrible and Disappointing December 26, 2009

When i began watching this movie I thought it was a great movie. Wades gang was loyal and willing to die for him. Unfortunently Wade was very weak and survived only by munipulation. Wade's second in command got his hat back for him, got his gun back for him, rallied the gang only to free the imprisoned Wade, for Wade only to turn on him and his etire crew in the end for shooting christian bale who was trying to take him to prison. Wade(Russel Crowe) is very fake in this movie. The pity this so-called ruthless, rotten, killer has for this rancher is unbeliveable. But if you don't believe the review, go check it out. If you like it I know what kind of morals you have.
Well made movie December 25, 2009

This is a well made movie, entertaining and good remake of a classic film. It has some new ideas not in the original story but holds true to the story. I would recommmend it if you are a western movie fan, a fan of the stars (Crowe and Bale) or just want to watch something different.
