3:10 to Yuma
In Arizona in the late 1800s, infamous outlaw Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) and his vicious gang of thieves and murderers have 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.

Great Modern western - Ptimmyj
This was much better than I expected. Among modern westerns it definitely shines with great acting, action and story.
If you are a western fan to any degree you will enjoy this movie, and if you are not this may persuade you to watch a few classics.
Great action, great western.
Recommended!The great western returns! - pignap
I have never been a fan of westerns, and i have always disliked Russell Crowe. UNTIL NOW.
This film focuses on the story of a man (Christian Bale) in need of money and achievement, who volunteers himself to get a prisoner (Russell Crowe) to jail by getting him to the train station for the 3:20 train to Yuma. While this is going on, there are a group of people trying to retrieve their boss before he gets on the train. This group is led by the magnificent Ben Foster.
The film features some fantastic acting. The actor that shines the most in this film is Ben Foster (The Messenger, Six Feet Under. Other actors that do a great job include Bale and Crowe. The films story starts out a little slow and confusing, but it quickly picks up and becomes a tense and exciting movie.
Any western fan will love this movie and it will also be loved by any fan of Foster and Crowe.
89/100A great western in the style of High Noon - TorontoComposer
Every aspect of this film was beautifully done. It reminds me of the great directors of westerns, such as High Noon and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The cinematography is outstanding. The pacing is excellent and the acting superb. Not a single false note. If you enjoy great character pieces or action or westerns ... GET THIS FILM!!! It is a pleasure to watch in blu-ray, as well.
