Review: 3:10 To Yuma (2007) RUSSELL CROW & CHRISTIAN BALE

A power packed cast in Russell Crowe, Christian Bale & Ben Foster to pull off the movie. Director, James Mangold does a pretty decent job. Since the film is based back in time, you see actors donning cowboy costumes, peppy background score, horse rides and a vast desert.

The movie is about a criminal, Ben Wade played by Russell Crowe, who is wanted by Govt Marshals. Ben gets caught and is to be put up on a train to Yuma at 3:10. However, the task is not easy as notorious gang member Charlie played by Ben Foster is trying to rescue Wade. Joining hands with the marshals is Dan, played by Christian Bale. Dan has a grudge against Wade as his barn was destroyed by him. He also wishes to be a hero in his son's eyes thus joins this dangerous mission. In the middle of their trip, Dan's son, William also joins the troupe.

During the trip you come to know that Wade has a human side too. He and Dan get closer as they spend time together. In the end, Wade tries to help Dan and reach the train station while they are targeted by Charlie and his gang. Dan dies at the hands of Charlie and Wade kills Charlie and gets into the train. A nice end to a nice drama.

The movie gives you something different apart from regular stuff ad it is this quality that makes it enjoyable.
