3:10 TO YUMA
Dan Evans (Christian Bale, Batman Begins) is a struggling Arizona rancher who lost part of one leg (due to friendly fire) during the Civil War. He and his sons, William (Logan Lerman, Hoot) and Mark (Benjamin Petry, The Astronaut Farmer), witness a train robbery and killing spree by Ben Wade (Russell Crowe, Cinderella Man) and his gang of outlaws. Wade shoots his old nemesis, a bounty hunter named Byron McElroy (Peter Fonda, Ulee’s Gold).
When Ben Wade is captured, Dan becomes one of the guards assigned with taking the outlaw to catch the scheduled 3:10 train to Yuma so he can be tried for his crimes. Wade’s faithful, terrifyingly amoral second in command, Charlie Prince (Ben Foster, X-Men: The Last Stand), hovers nearby to wreak havoc and rescue his boss.
This film is a remake of the 1957 version that stared Glenn Ford as Dan and Van Heflin as Wade, based on a 1953 short story by novelist and screenwriter Elmore Leonard (Get Shorty).
Director James Mangold (Walk the Line) has elicited striking performances from the actors in this morality play: Charlie’s amoral lack of empathy is in sharp contrast to Wade’s immorality and Dan’s effort to save face in front of his sons.
The Bible plays a minor but essential role in this exciting film as Wade, in particular, gives voice to what his conscience is trying to tell him. In typical Elmore Leonard style, a quality of mercy transcends the film just not too much. This film may well revive the western genre because it never falters in how it deals with humanity. It should be an award contender. Pervasive violence.
