Movie review USA DVD

3:10 To Yuma




Movie Runtime: 122 Mins

Language: English

Country: USA

Rated: R








This Drama/Western directed by James Mangold and Written by Halsted Welles and Micheal Brandt has been nominated 5 times since it was released on the 14th September 2007.

The Plot for this movie is that Rancher Dan Evans (played by Christian Bale) heads into Bisbee to clear up problems concerning his land when he witnesses a robbery lead by famed outlaw Ben Wade (played by Russel Crowe) Ben is soon captured by the law in Bisbee and soon finds himself used as one of the escorts who will take Wade to the 3:10 Yuma train in Contention for the reward of $200. The transport to Contention ends up being dangerous and filled with ambushes from indians.

This action packed Western movie lived up to its expectations and delivered one on one shoot 'em up scenes with rough characters such as Russel Crowe although at times i feel this movie is hard to follow and without the excessive gun scenes this movie can be quite mind-numbing.
overall i feel this movie isn't worth paying the full DVD purchase or rental price but if your into action packed westerns then this is one to watch.


i give this movie 2/5 thumbs up
