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. Jameson

Great Western July 10, 2010 D. Zielinski (NC) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great movie. Most of the secenes are very visually appealing. There is a great development of the charachters and the Plot is good. I recommend this movie to anyone who appreciates a good action and a good western
Another great remake July 5, 2010 Jeff 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am not necessarily a fan of westerns but this was a very good movie. Russel Crowe at his best, a very charming bad guy, you will be rooting for Christian Bale's character. The relationship that develops between the two men will have you wanting both of them to win.
Good Service June 28, 2010 Big Fisherman (Indianapolis, IN) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The video came quickly. Actually, two came because the payment option said my card wouldn't clear. I changed my payment method and it said it wouldn't clear again. I reordered and it went through, but so did one of the previous orders that said it wouldn't clear. However, the return process was easy and the refund was done very quickly. Thanks.

WELL DONE May 4, 2010 Bambi Shangri-La (Phoenix, AZ USA) 0 out of 5 found this review helpful
I'M Not one for dusty Westerns, only two others have kept my interest in the past 20 years: "Lonesome Dove" and "Deadwood", both made for television movies. But this film blew me away, literally and figuratively. It has so many twists and turns that I was on the edge of my seat, not knowing what was going to happen next, right up until the very last 10 seconds. Christian Bale gives a fine performance as a downtrodden former Civil War soldier trying to made a hardscrabble living in Arizona. The entire cast, which includes an unrecognizable Peter Fonda, is outstanding. But it's Aussie Russell Crowe who walks away with the film. His early American persona as psychopathic outlaw Ben Wade is so believable that one can't help but wonder why the Governor of California still speaks in barely understandable English. Crowe's Ben Wade is right up there with Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal Lechter. This is a movie where you just can't help cheering for the bad guy!
