Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Here's hoping James Mangold's big, raucous, and ultrabloody remake of 3:10 to Yuma leads some moviegoers to check out Delmer Daves's beautifully lean, half-century-old original. That classic Western spun a tale of captured outlaw Ben Wade (Glenn Ford)--deadly but disarmingly affable--and the small-time rancher and family man, Dan Evans (Van Heflin), desperate enough to accept the job of helping escort the badman to Yuma prison. Wade, knowing that his gang will be along at any moment to spring him, works at persuading the ultimately lone deputy to accept a bribe, turn his back on "duty," and go home safe and rich to his family. That the outlaw has come to admire his captor intriguingly complicates the suspense. All of the above applies in the new 3:10, but it takes a lot more huffing and puffing to get Wade (Russell Crowe this time) and Evans (Christian Bale) into position for the showdown. Mostly, more is less. To Mangold's credit, his movie doesn't traffic in facile irony or postmodern detachment; it aims to be a straight-up Western and deliver the excitement and charisma the genre's fans are starved for. But recognizing that contemporary viewers might be out of touch with the bedrock simplicity and strength of the genre--not to mention its code of honor--Mangold has supplied both Evans and Wade with a plethora of backstory and "motivations." At the overblown action climax, the crossfire of personal agendas is almost as frenetic as the copious gunplay. (By that point the movie has killed more people than the Lincoln County War.) Best thing about the remake is Russell Crowe's Ben Wade, a Scripture-quoting career villain with an artist's eye and a curiously principled sense of whom and when to murder. As his second-in-command, Ben Foster fairly pirouettes at every opportunity to commit mayhem, and Peter Fonda contributes a fierce portrait of an old Wade adversary turned bounty hunter for the Pinkerton detective agency. --Richard T.

My viewing was spoilt by the DVD going into annoying segments of blank video with the audio running. Several false starts and disc cleaning later, I managed to see the movie. Amazon needs to check on the rest of the DVDs in its stock if only spare any one else buying it now.
Interesting movie; unusual western which keeps up the pace even if it comes near the point of getting bogged down. In the end, a satisfying movie. Masterful performance by Crowe and Bale.

Yuma is pretty much the only western I've ever seen.
That said, I loved it.
Bale is his usual excellent self.
Crowe is the bad guy you love to hate.
The directing, acting, script, pretty much everything is top shelf.
A lot of action keeps things interesting.
I can't really say anything bad about this movie.
Can anyone recommend other western's that are this good???
I recommend Yuma for everyone who's tired of the same old same old from Hollywood.

I loved the movie. Everything about it was enjoyable: the scenery, the acting (WOW. Bale and Crowe are great together, awesome chemistry), the plot and YES, the infamous ending. It was suspenseful, I cared about even the minor characters, and I understood the motives throughout the movie. Great action and gunplay.
Yes, there are plotholes. But every movie has them, and I was so caught up while watching it that I just didn't care. I'm not one to pick apart a movie anyway, unless it's an arthouse ... Read More

a truly great modern western . you'll either agree or not , and that's fine , but mangold and company did a magnificent job . all else that needs to be said has been said better and more thoroughly by other writers here . strongly recommended .

I have read a couple of reviews here slamming this movie. Can't think why. Each to his own I suppose, but if you haven't seen this film and are contemplating buying it, do so! For those of you who loved this film in theaters, buy the blu ray and sit back for the same exciting action and superb look in your own living room.
Warning: some spoilers, but none terribly revealing
Russell Crowe is superb as Ben Wade, a famous outlaw featured in the dime westerns of his times. He and ... Read More
