Fabulous, but to fully understand it ya might have to see it twice

For those who dont understand the ending, maybe watch the film again, because to get this film you HAVE to pay attention to every word and to the Wade character.
[For those who havent seen the film, dont worry I'm not going to discuss the ending here]

I've seen the movie 4-5 times and I discovered something new each time I watched it. Especially about Ben Wade. This movie is a real treat, you get something new from it each time.

Rancher Dan Evans, a good man, but bad thing after bad thing is happening to him when we meet him. Even Mother Nature isnt cooperating.

I dont want to spoil too much about outlaw Ben Wade, but complex is a good word for him. And hide your wife.

The real villain of the movie is Charlie Prince. He is number 2 guy in Bens gang. A murdering machine,probably insane.

Let the games begin.. due to an event, Dan and Wade are put together and hit the trail along with a few others. Dan has to do this certain thing and he & his family will be rewarded. But this is no ordinary or easy trip. The 2 men are on a journey, there are surprises, revelations..they learn about each other.
And I really cant say more. But at this point of the film you have to pay close attention.

I wouldnt call this movie a western, its a drama. There are too many gray hats here to be your usual good guy[s] vs. bad guy[s] western.. and actually, THATS probably what makes this movie so very good,its fresh.

This movie is psychological, it plays with your mind.

And the action in this film is the psychological battle the two main characters are in.

Great job by director Mangold for there are no boring moments.

The acting is great, down to the actor who plays Dans son. I found R.Crowe mesmerizing. I think this is one of his best performances. And all you have to do is look at Christian Bale as Dan to see his character is suffering.

When the credits roll, youre thinking and thinking about it all.

Dont forget, pay close attention while watching the movie.

Seen this one and liked it so much that I had to purchase on Blu-ray. Outstanding images!

Great Movie

Two of my favorite actors in a not-so-favorite genre and I loved it. Now I just need to see the original.

Great Acting

I could hardly wait to see "3:10 to Yuma". With all the high ratings it has received so far, I was really looking forward to seeing it. But I was disappointed after the first viewing. I had expected something different. But then after the second and third viewing I began to enjoy it. While watching the movie for the first time I expected to see a serious and realistic film. But realism is not what this is about. So what's it about? It's neither a drama due to the lack of realism nor is it a comedy, too many sad moments. Maybe it is best described as a Western movie with lots of action scenes that tries to convey some kind of moral.
The best of 3:10 to Yuma is definitely the brilliant performance of Russell Crowe. Without him in the leading role this movie wouldn't be as half as good. His character is nicely developed, just as the one of Christian Bale, who has the other leading role. This might sound strange when on the other hand a lot of the actions in this movie are not quite understandable. The reason for a few escaped me completely especially in the last twenty minutes. The viewer is left to his or her own guesses. Only in the end when Crow whistles to his horse at least some sense comes to the last scenes.
Although the story is highly unbelievable and in many parts strange, the dialogue is interesting and even now and then amusing.
Besides the great acting it's the well done cinematography, the beautiful scenery and the great sound track that make up for most of the flaws.
Of course there is a lot of shooting like in many Western movies. Sometimes it looks as if they were shooting blanks because nobody gets hit. Then on the other hand when someone gets hit there is of course the never missing Hollywood bullet fallacy - one shot drops and bodies flying through the air by the impact of the bullet. If a bullet had the power to nock down a man, the shooter would also be flying backwards. Simple physics. The scene I really got hung up on while watching the movie for the first time was when one of the "good" guys who was shot in the stomach gets treated by a vet who just pries out the bullet and a couple hours later this same guy is back in the saddle. Give me a break! That's ridiculous. But as I already said the whole story is not realistic. As long as you keep that in mind and concentrate on the good parts of the movie it will be very enjoyable to watch.
