3:10 to Yuma (2007)–***1/2
Quickie Review
Dan Evans is a defeated rancher who is days away from loosing his farm to a neighboring land owner. When he gets the opportunity to earn a quick $200 by escorting the murderous robber Ben Wade to a train headed for federal prison, the usually safe Evans takes a chance on the fool’s errand. A well-composed and dramatic western, 3:10 to Yuma proves to be the always solid James Mangold’s best film to date. All around great performances are highlighted by Christian Bale’s harrowing turn as the rancher, Evans. A thrill for classic western fans. Also starring Russell Crowe as Ben Wade with Ben Foster and Peter Fonda.
