When Wade is captured Civil War veteran Dan Evans (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.Cast: Russell Crowe Christian Bale Peter Fonda Gretchen Mol Ben FosterDirector: James MangoldSpecial Features: Audio Commentary with Director James Mangold "Destination Yuma" - Making-of Documentary "An Epic Explored" Featurette "Outlaws Gangs and Posses" Featurette Deleted ScenesSystem Requirements:Run Time: 122 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: WESTERN/HEROES Rating: R UPC: 031398221852 Manufacturer No: 22185 Amazon.com: 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.

Stills from 3:10 to Yuma
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Stands With the OriginalEach version of "3:10 To Yuma," brings something different enough so that they are able to co-exist. I don't believe one is better than the other. The last time this happened for me was "The Bounty" with Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins compared to "Mutiny on the Bounty" with Clark Gable and Charles Laughton. Forget the Brando/Howard version. Christian Bale is showing himself more and more to be an actor of terrific substance. If you like the Glenn Ford/Van Heflin "3:10 to Yuma," as I do, don't ... Read More Rating:  - Incredible!This movie is a masterpiece! I actually just saw the original and this is much better. Christian Bale is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors. Russell Crow aka Gladiator-nuff said. If you haven't seen this movie, WATCH NOW? Rating:  - a good western for those that don't like westerns..I was pleasantly surprised watching this film- yes, it is a "western", but the characters are so well-written it's really a character study of the two main characters in the film, as they battle wits against each other. The focis stays on the characters and not so much on the action, although there is action also. The ending leaves the door open for a sequel, which would be welcomed. Rating: - Unusual pace and plot; unexpected narrativeMy viewing was spoilt by the DVD going into annoying segments of blank video with the audio running. Several false starts and disc cleaning later, I managed to see the movie. Amazon needs to check on the rest of the DVDs in its stock if only spare any one else buying it now. Interesting movie; unusual western which keeps up the pace even if it comes near the point of getting bogged down. In the end, a satisfying movie. Masterful performance by Crowe and Bale. Rating: - Awesome Western.Yuma is pretty much the only western I've ever seen. That said, I loved it. Bale is his usual excellent self. Crowe is the bad guy you love to hate. The directing, acting, script, pretty much everything is top shelf. A lot of action keeps things interesting. I can't really say anything bad about this movie. Can anyone recommend other western's that are this good??? I recommend Yuma for everyone who's tired of the same old same old from Hollywood. Definitely ... Read More |
