An honest, hard-working farmer agrees to assist in escorting an outlaw to a distant town in exchange for money to pay off his debt and start a new life. Hidden motives are revealed as the two partake in an ever-evolving game of cat-and-mouse.
A small-time rancher agrees to hold a captured outlaw who's awaiting a train to go to court in Yuma. A battle of wills ensues as the outlaw tries to psych out the rancher.
Greetings again from the darkness. (Sept 3, 2007) Remakes always cause me to pause, especially when they are of films I enjoyed ... such as the 1957 "3:10 to Yuma", which was probably Glenn Ford's best screen performance. Still, having only seen the preview twice (remarkable in this day), I was instantaneously curious to see Batman and Gladiator in the lead roles!! This is a fantastic traditional western film with good guys and bad guys and muddled minds, when the time comes to decide what is morally right and what might actually be an easy way out. As we have seen in "The Magnificent Seven" and "High Noon", choosing the easy way out is rarely heroic and certainly doesn't create the high intensity story line played out in "3:10 to Yuma". The old west is the perfect playground for writers who enjoy showing the complexity involved in manhood, especially when fatherhood is involved.
The two leads are exceptional. Russell Crowe exudes badness and coolness and brilliance as the legendary outlaw, Ben Wade. Watching his psychological games with his captors is creepy, yet humorous and at times, downright frightening. Good guy Christian Bale captures the desperation of a man continually wronged by his country, politicians, and even his God. He struggles to maintain his character for his sons and wife, but this is no ordinary man. He is possessed by character.
Supporting standouts include Ben Foster as Crowe's right-hand man, Charlie Prince. Think Michael Biehn in "Tombstone". Foster is a scary guy, but also has a couple of the film's funniest lines. Gretchen Mol plays Bale's wife, and though she is given little to do, I must ask again ... "Why doesn't this woman work more often?". She is excellent in every role she takes, but she needs more screen time. If you doubt Ms. Mol's talent, please see "The Notorious Bettie Page". Also of note is Alan Tudyk who plays Doc. Tudyk gives another fine performance on the heels of his zany role in the excellent "Death at a Funeral". Also, I would be remiss to not mention Peter Fonda's all too brief role as the bounty hunter. Fonda spews his lines at the camera.
What makes this updated version slightly better than the original is the gritty, dusty approach taken by up ("Walk the Line") and down ("Kate and Leopold") director James Mangold. We FEEL the gunshots, stampedes, chase scenes and dirt in the wounds. This realism helps build the tension of the final few minutes. Also, a tip of the hat to Mangold for not beating us over the head with shots of watches and clocks. There are enough for effect, but no so many as to ruin the moment.
This is a must see and probably one of the best of the year. Can't often say that about August/September releases, but I assume it was released so as to not conflict with the upcoming Crowe/Denzel Washington film. Regardless, this is a film to see.
It's always a pleasure to see a good movie, an entertaining movie, with substance, a decent screenplay, and most of all, with real talent, not the over publicized kind, but the one that makes you care about the characters, whether they are good or bad, the ones that go beyond simple expressions and can't be defined as being black and white.
Once again, the finest actor of 2007 makes another flawless appearance as the rancher who strives to do something to prove his worth. Christian Bale is the heart of the film, fiery, determined, confused, and a victim of circumstances, who must face an evil mastermind and tries to achieve an impossible goal: delivering the infamous outlaw to the authorities.
Russell Crowe is the famous robber who has thus far avoided the authorities and seems destined to continue his winning streak. Through an interesting turn of events, he falls in the hand of a group who might just stop him, but things in the Old West are not that simple, and before the end of the movie, events will become more complex and exciting, as Crowe and Bale have epiphanies of their own and might make some life changing decisions.
The ending is one of the most exciting in recent movies, and it's because we have a director who goes back to a formula that is successful. There is a remarkable villain, a world where philosophy exists but it's not at the core of the story, a place that is ruthless and beautiful, a new frontier that can capture and kill you. It's an unforgiving world, and only those who are determined to make it, will survive.
The film is expertly directed, gorgeously photographed, and so well-edited that it's hard to take your eyes away from the screen. Here is an example of what films can do, whether they are considered revisionist and overpraised because they try a slightly different approach but fail to capture your interest. "3:10" follows the formula, but improves on it by making it personal and relevant to us, to make us care about what we are seeing, not necessarily about just seeing a matinée idol, but to see some real people dealing with life threatening problems and real situations.
Four stars.
This film is an example of a Western that ought to appeal to a healthy-sized contemporary audience, and is also a remake of the 1957 film of the same name, which is a hallmark of the type of psychological Western.
