a5c7b9f00b A small-time rancher agrees to hold a captured outlaw who's awaiting a train to go to court in Yuma. A battle of wills ensues as the outlaw tries to psych out the rancher.
Rancher Dan Evans heads into Bisbee to clear up issues concerning the sale of his land when he witnesses the closing events of a stagecoach robbery led by famed outlaw Ben Wade. Shortly thereafter, Wade is captured by the law in Bisbee and Evans finds himself one of the escorts who will take Wade to the 3:10 to Yuma train in Contention for the reward of $200. Evans's effort to take Wade to the station is in part an effort to save his land but also part of an inner battle to determine whether he can be more than just a naive rancher in the eyes of his impetuous and gunslinging son William Evans. The transport to Contention is hazardous and filled with ambushes by Indians, pursuits by Wade's vengeful gang and Wade's own conniving and surreptitious demeanor that makes the ride all the more intense.
Not many westerns are being made any more, but it seems those that are being made are very good indeed. The last excellent western was Open Range, but this movie is much much better. The acting is excellent with Russell Crowe giving an outstanding performance as a very bad man with a streak of goodness still left in him. I thought Christian Bale was playing the hero but the true hero of this movie was his son played by Logan Lerman. A truly great movie must have a great bad guy, this movie had two of them, one played by Crowe and one played to perfection by Ben Foster(Charlie Prince), you just knew that if he got his way people were gonna die. Lots of action, great dialog, tension, a few twists, and in the end a satisfying conclusion.
Given the high praise this movie has gotten, I must have really missed something. But really now, the story was not complex, as some would contend; it was just plain lame. Throughout the movie I waited to see whether something interesting would gel and make the whole thing work, but it never really did. Yes, the ending was a complete surprise, so much so that it was completely unbelievable, as was the rest of the movie. I couldn't understand whether this was a spoof on westerns or just really bad writing. Either way, it was pretty much a complete failure. Too bad. I'm a big fan of Russel Crowe, and in this case I would say that even his performance suffered. It just goes to show that without a good screenplay, everything else is certain to fall flat.
A largely compelling ride on the strength of a powerful cast led by Russell Crowe and Christian Bale.
