In Arizona in the late 1800's, infamous outlaw Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) and his vicious gang of thieves and murderers plagued the Southern Railroad. When Wade is captured, Civil War veteran Dan Evans (Christian 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.

It may be fashionable to raid the films of yesteryear and give them a bit of an update for modern audiences, but more often than not the remakes fail to deliver. Not so in the case of 3.10 to Yuma though.
The multifaceted characters hail back to a time when men were portrayed as men without having to pander to metro sexual modern attitudes. Not macho per se, but more a case of still waters running deep. Crowe and Bale excel in this with their performances. They say far more in a moment of silence than most touchy feely movies that explore the dynamics between men do.
That this movie can skilfully balance this within an action filled western is at its heart its strength.
An outstanding triumph of cinema.
A lot of people have a problem with some of the actions caused by some characters in the movie but not many actually go deep into the characters minds. I can sit here all day explaining how I, myself viewed those actions but at the end of the day everyone sees and decides things differently and maybe that's why this movie is probably my favorite of the year.
First of all, the acting was superb and the movies pace was just perfect. The plot is beautiful and very heart whelming in some parts. I am a huge western fan and to see them still being made like this makes me really happy. I hope this continues because this was a genre that ruled Hollywood at one point.
Must get film.
The film itself is based on an earlier (1957) film, however the acting in this film breaks away any kind of comparison with the remake. Christian Bale plays low-esteem one-legged rancher who seeks respect off his son. Russell Crowe play a bandit of a certain indescribable moral, and despite the facts we see many personal scenes of him talking, we never quite understand him completely. So, its fair to say that these characters are somewhat complex... Bale and Crowe are superb in their individual roles, and working together. The music, mise en scene and location are only a drop into the ocean compared to the realism established by these two actors.
A good story turned stunning - its simple but genius. One of the best films I've ever seen.
