Consumer AdviceContains strong violence
Additional InformationJames Mangold's great strength as a director is his knowledge of how and why audiences respond to different genres. He presents pristine examples of genre, never really subverting them, but finding a way to infuse them with novelty, strong acting, and classic Hollywood style. 3:10 TO YUMA fits that mould perfectly. This time Mangold goes back to the birth of the revisionist Western.<BR><BR><BR>Russell Crowe plays a desperado whose accomplices stage an ambush after he is taken into custody by a determined local sheriff in this remake of the 1957 film starring Glenn Ford and Van Heflin.

  • Quite a good remake of the 1957 B&W classic, but misses some of the key dramatic elements. A contemporary colour remake was `Last Train to Gun Hill'.

    This is a 2007 colour remake of the 1957 B&W film of the same name. Bale plays a struggling small time Arizona rancher in the railroad expansion era after the Civil War. Crowe is a notorious bandit boss, who's captured after robbing a stagecoach carrying the railroad's money. However, it's a hard day's ride to deliver Crowe to a secure carriage on the 3:10 train travelling to Yuma prison, and Crowe's crew are in pursuit. So, the railroad are willing to pay high for help in bringing Crowe in for a salutory showtrial & hanging. By volunteering to help, Bale sees a golden chance to free his family from debt & the eviction threats of the railroad, and to win some respect from his 14y.o. son. Having pledged himself, he sticks to his task, no matter the personal cost. The glory of the 1957 film was a slowly-building crescendo of action, leading to a superb battle of wits between Glenn Ford & Van Heflin in a hotel room overlooked by bandit sharpshooters, before the deadly walk to the train. For this to work, Ford & Heflin had to be a near match in hardness, ability, and intelligence. In the 2007 remake, Bale's character has been made weaker than Van Helfin portrayal, partly to provide clearer motivation. On the other hand, Crowe is lightning with a pistol, and a very strong character, whose hard but likeable exterior conceals a highly intelligent empathy, with which he can either sympathise with Bale's predicament, or ruthlessly exploit the psychological weaknesses of his victims. Such an inequality in ability means that the rivalry of the original film is mostly lost, and there is no real attempt to recreate its greatest scene. There are some compensations for the weakening of the personal duel element. The minor characters have more prominence: Bale's son, Crowe's lieutenant Prince, & the Pinkerton railroad agent. The action is also opened up to give more of a revisionist historical feel: exploited Chinese workers, and tales of massacres of native American counterbalance an Indian raid. However, the biggest compensation comes in the final walk to the train, where Crowe is so confident of escape that he feels he can take time out to help Bale achieve his aim. The dramatic shootout here is a bonus over 1957. Overall, this is a good 7/10 film. However, it lacks the dramatic focus, careful pacing, and superlative final act of the original 9/10 film.
