Movie Reviews of 3:10 to Yuma [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: what plot problems? (some spoilers)
Summary: 5 Stars

a great movie, one of those like tombstone you can watch over and over. the plot problems ive read here are more about movie goers who are ignorant of black powder weapons, horses and fighting for your life.

wade is complex with a wierd moral code who meets up with a flawed man he comes to respect. their interaction is what this movie is about. the ending is superb, when crowes character acts violently because of a newly developed friendship that is based on 'respect' rather then time and familiarity.

edit below:
i feel compelled to defend the film in certain areas so i have made comments to some of the reviews. here is a synopsis
the ending first:
if this had been a movie about a outlaw who spent a week seeking revenge for the murder of his best friend by a gang of outlaws he had ridden with before, there would be no problem understanding the plot, or in this case the ending. but since the murder of the bale character (who had become wades best friend) took place so quickly and the revenge followed even more quickly people are confused by it. the ending is the one part of the film that is truly crystal clear. great friendships can happen quickly sort of like love at first sight. wades character was missing a relationship in his life with someone he truly could 'respect' when he found that person and he was murdered right in front of him, he reacted violently after all he was a killer.

on the fonda charater getting shot:
the black powder cartridges being fired in the converted black powder muzzle loader pistols did not contain much stopping power (wades colt might have used more powder). maybe 8 to 12 or even 16 grains of black powder, these projectiles did not have much velocity or foot pounds of energy on the target and the energy drops drastically with distance so when they hit it was about like poking a hole in someone with a sharp stick, this is why many old time outlaws survived multiple gunshot wounds and continued to fight. Jesse James survived being shot in the lungs. therefore penetration through a tough abdominal wall could indeed slow the bullet enough to not do much damage internally but it was a good idea to get the bullet out, and since there was no real shock or trauma just a hole a person could indeed get up and pursue their mission. the old mountain men survived much worse wounds and still survived on their own, as have men in modern combat. did you see masters and commanders? was mark wahlbergs character having a sucking chest wound in 3 kings realistic?

the exploding horse incident:
dynamite concussion does not carry well through the air, if it is confined then its expansion is catastrophic, or if it is wrapped with a chains or other objects it will cause damage with the flying shrapnel, otherwise its just a really big shove, so the horse and rider carrying it would be blown to bits by the concussion and the shock wave that is left would reach out and do little damage.

the other plot twists are explainable and believable for people under stress for their lives. which includes why the sherriff abandoned the bale character, and why they didnt expose themselves to being shot by leaning out a window to shoot into the street etc. even the burning stage coach incident is believable, i'm sure in hindsight the person in the stagecoach wished he had done things differently but thats how people die in combat or law enforcement, mis-judging the enemies capabilities can be fatal.

the burning stage coach guy not doing the hollywood scream:
this isnt really a problem, did you ever see the monks burning in vietnam while protesting back in the 60's? not a squeal, people who are rapidly burned to death often dont scream because their body shuts down and they can not respond. many fatal burn victims are found in a completely rigid state with their fists tightly cleanched, that is the body shutting down. some burns that are less damaging are more painful and therefore allow more responce.

(edit: my son a doctor reminded me of a couple of other points:
1: if the oxygen is burnt inside the stage coach rapidly there is no air to expel a scream.
2: if a person breathes super heated air the lungs throat and larnyx are toasted and no longer function. the movie got it right.)

the limp problem: i have to review the film to look for it but since the amputation was well below the knee he may have only limped when the prosthesis was irritating. but its not that big of a deal in my opinion.

the difficulty that i see is that when people see an event depicted in film that is close to reality they dont recognize it because their lifes experience is based on other hollywood movies. spend some time watching the discovery, history and military channels, the truth is out there.

the only question i have is how the horse heard the whistle over the train noise, and why they didnt just shoot the horses of the stagecoach they were robbing but robbers chasing down a stage coach is very old hollywood tradition, beyond that i found this movie to be very believable.

for those determined to not like this film because of plot problems and continuity alone, i am afraid you are destined to a life without the imagination of our fellows, entertaining us. movie makers do ask that we lower our credulity meter at least a little. the naysayers may be better off reading the tax code of the u.s. for entertainment, thus keeping it very real.
