3:10 to Yuma

3:10 To Yuma is yet another great modern made western to ad to the list. It is a remake of the original from 1957, but in my opinion, was ten times better the second time around. I could hardly make myself sit through the original version. That may have something to do with my age, who knows. I would much rather sit down to a western that was made after 1990 than forcing myself to sit through one that was made in the 50's or 60's. Sometimes I feel like the western is overlooked and under appreciated. I hope to see more westerns come out of Hollywood in the next few years, thinking that somehow this 3:10 to Yuma will ignite the western flame again and spark an awakening in this genre. I'm not saying that this is the absolute best modern western made in recent years, and I know it will probably not go down in history as one of the classics that we will never forget, like Tombstone and Young Guns, but damn, it was definitely a great film, and deserves it's props. Throughout the film there are bullets flying and men being killed in the blink of an eye. But what kind of western would it be if that was not the case. The most surprising aspect of the movie is the unconventional bond that forms between the two main characters Ben Wade (played by Russell Crowe) and Dan Evans (played by Christian Bale). While these men should be enemies by all means, by the end of the movie the bond is apparent and is real. Ben Wade is a charismatic villain, known best through out the West for his killing tally. He has held up every shipment of money to support the expansion of the railroad, and has killed anyone who got in his way. Wade also shows a light, sexy, humorous side and a weakness for the opposite sex. Dan Evans is a married farmer with two young sons who all live on the family farm that has been passed down from the previous generation. The family is going through hard times and about to loss the farm when he falls upon the job of taking Wade into custody and escorting him to the train station a few towns over, then putting him on the 3:10 to Yuma prison train. All this for a measly $200. Who knows how much that would be these days. In Yuma, Wade is to stand trial and be hung. Through out the journey, the relationship between the two men grows into something comparable to the Yin Yang. Evans begins to believe that Wade has some good in him, and Wade begins to believe that Evans just might help him get out of the life ending situation that he is facing in Yuma. The movie shows you the obvious differences in the two men, and yet how much the start to like each other while on their long journey. This factor only leaves you guessing more and more about the final outcome of Wade. Will Evans let him go, or will he stick to his "guns" and fulfill his duty of delivering Wade. The final chapter is the final show down, and you will be surprised how the journey ends for both men. The two actors have a great connection on screen, and both give great performances. Russell Crowe is at his best when he plays the smart, unstoppable type, and Christian Bale at his best is always the hero. The contrast of the two actors is quite noticeable in the film. Bale is as usual intense and tight lipped, while Crowe is in his realm, very relaxed, as the stand out character he always seems to play. Together, the two make a great pair of opposites, on and off of the big screen. This is a definite buy!!!
