Why it was included: I was interested in including both original and remake on the list as I did with other such combos, but alas, 3:10 to Yuma the elder is being used in another project. For the record, the original is actually quite good, so you should check it out. So what does the remake bring to the table? It was nominated for some awards and brought in a tidy sum at the box office, but that isnt why its here. 3:10 to Yuma is just a down and dirty wild west tale that provides a solid blend of modernization and classic western aesthetics. I didnt think twice about including such a film. What Stifled thinks: Sometimes in life you just need a nice action flick to enjoy. Kick back, relax, and watch a bunch of dudes try to kill each other. And 3:10 to Yuma delivers on that goal. Take some outstanding performances from the cast, build up some tension and storyline between them at the beginning, and basically push a detonator button to blow it all to bits. Once the action starts, it doesnt let up. Its a hell of a ride until the very end of the film and its quite exhilarating. Its some of the finest western pew pew I have seen so far. But hey, lets rewind a bit here. What about those performances? Well the dynamic between Bale and Crowe is an attention grabber. They play off each other so well, you wonder if they forgot it was a movie. Bale is the serious business war veteran crack shot farmer that is putting it all on the line for his family and his land. Crowe simply does not give a fuck and treats life as a non-stop thrill ride. They are both adversaries and teachers to each other. During their experiences together, their eyes are opened to worlds they did not see before. And in the final moments of the film, you even see that the nefarious outlaw has come to care about his captor. I feel that many movies attempt this type of relationship and cant quite pull it off. But 3:10 to Yuma delivers. --- Bear Bro The Empire of Silence <cite>StifledSilence posted [p:957656888] in Board 8 Ra...
