The forgotten genre, the western, receives a boost in this '07 movie. Starring Christian Bale and Russell Crowe, this compelling movie about an outlaw, and one member of his posse trying to bring him to justice.
3:10 To Yuma is not just a very good western, highlighting individualists that that west is known for, but a very good movie. Crowe is perfect as a intelligent though brutal outlaw. And Bale is just as good, if not better, as a down-on-his-luck rancher looking to make some money and restore his self-pride by bringing the man to a train (the 3:10 to Yuma) that will take Crowe to federal prison.
Along the way, the rest of the posses gets killed or leaves, one by one, leaving just these two to find their fate.
Good supporting performances. Good action sequences, and even better thoughtful sequences make me hope for more from this forgotten genre.
