"Time waits for one man"

3:10 to Yuma (2007)
Directed by James Mangold, rated R, 122 minutes

3:10 to Yuma is an exciting, action-packed western about a poor rancher who agrees to take a charismatic, captured outlaw to a waiting train to impress his son who admires the outlaw. Christian Bale and Russel Crowe play off each other masterfully as hero and villain respectively, but it's Ben Foster who stands out as Crowe's loyal but deranged sidekick. The actions scenes are impressively done, with plenty of memorable shootouts, including the unique and explosive ending. Though 3:10 to Yuma is a sort of neo-western, it captures the atmosphere and feel of the classic westerns to make one fun ride. You'll like it if: You like westerns, action films, Russel Crowe, Appaloosa, High Noon or Jackie Brown.
