3:10 TO YUMA
Legend has it that Ben Wade once killed three Apaches while wearing handcuffs. He was a prisoner and escaped from Yuma... twice. He's the fastest damn gunships in blisterin' Arizona, and makes Michael Vick look like a law abidn't citizen.
Oh, and he's the bandite whose unchecked hubris has led him to piss off a pimp Yankee who is trying to reclaim his dignity. With the dueling lines scratched
in the dirt, all we need to do is revel in the fun of watching Russell Crowe and Christian Bale go head-to-head.
Remaking 3:10 to Yuma is a nice fit for a contemporary audience.In the 1957 original, the antagonist possessed a certain sense of morality that was uncharacteristic for classic westerns, and the 2007 screenplay builds on this by further deepening characters and blurring their loyalties.The outlaw is no longer just bad to be bad—rather, he starts bad, encounters a dilemma, and has the capacity to change.
The remaining elements of the genre are left intact, giving 3:10 to Yuma the feel of a bona-fide western. Desert towns stay true to the classic layout, which kept me half-expecting to spot Mr. Will Kane defending justice. The dry southwest landscape is so visually stunning that my mouth became parched just from watching.
became patient just from the casting director does no wrong. As Ben Wade, Russell Crowe pulls off a Gladiator-esque performance, and Christian Bale makes every role he takes look natural. Most surprising is a short appearance from Luke Wilson, who I never believed could be a badass until now. ★★★
