Product Description
Western starring Christian Bale and Russell Crowe. In Arizona in the late 1800s, infamous outlaw Ben Wade (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 Wade 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.
From Amazon.co.uk
Never let it be said that the Western is dead. Because every time its last rites are read, another filmmaker moves in and produces another fine entry to an enduring genre thatll simply never go away. In this case, the film is
3:10 To Yuma, and the filmmaker is James Mangold, straight off his Oscar-winning Johnny Cash biopic,
Walk The Line.
3:10 To Yuma is, however, a far different beast, bringing together two of the most magnetic male leads in modern day cinema. On the one hand, theres Christian Bale as the law-enforcing Sheriff, and hes facing off against Russell Crowes killer. Unsurprisingly, its the conflict and sparks between these two that ignite the film, and turn it into a film well worth seeking out.
For what director Mangold realises is that the trick with 3:10 To Yuma (named after the prison train that Bales character seeks to put Crowes on) is to give his two stars room to work, and injecting plenty of action and excitement into the mix. The end result, while not a top-notch Western, turns out to be a real cut above most of the current multiplex fodder. Even if Westerns arent usually your thing, its well worth giving this one a try. --Jon Foster
