A Wild Western

Christian Bale and Russell Crowe do an excellent job in this modern western. The pairing of the these two powerful actors creates an on-screen energy that is forced to be reckoned with. Bale fully submits himself into the role of a struggling, one-legged rancher who will not let his vulnerability get in the way of his pride and determination to be a good role model for his sons and a good husband. Crowe shines as a witty and cunning western badass who doesn't think twice about robbing and killing, despite the little light that shines within him that he desperately wants to extinguish.

The movie is about a rancher named Dan Evans (Bale) who offers to transport outlaw Ben Wade (Crowe) to prison for a small fee so that he can repay the debts he owes on his ranch. However, this becomes a ...

Almost as good as Tombstone and Unforgiven..

Christian Bales and Russell Crowe are perfectly cast as the protagonists in this Western, as their respective characters seek redemption for their lifetime of failure and evil, respectively. Christian Bale's performance is especially riveting, as you come to know the character portrayed in the very depth of his soul. He finds redemption in his relationship with the villain Wade(Russell Crowe)and in his heroic behavior within the story. So, too, does the villain Wade, who finds his own redemption in his relationship with Dan (Christian Bale) and his final decision to give closure to the elder son. There is sufficient humanity and, indeed, humor in the portrayals by these characters, who are ably supported by the rest of the cast. This is a Western that can be enjoyed by serious film-goers ...

A Great Ride

I am not a big fan of westerns but 3:10 to Yuma is one of the few westerns that I thoroughly enjoyed. Once I got emotionally involved with the characters, I was on the edge of my seat. This movie has it all. Humor, action, drama and it is drenched in suspense. A tell-tale sign of a good film is when you find yourself loving the protagnoist, but also not hating the antagonist.

Russell Crowe gives a stellar performance as the charasmatic outlaw and Christian Bale is marvelous as a hardened, almost poverty stricken rancher. I really beleived both of them. The ending of this movie.....will stop your heart. You never see it coming.....
