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

Movie Review: Fast Paced, Great Cast, Not as Good as Original
Summary: 4 Stars

A remake of the 1957 film starring Glenn Ford, and in this film, the underdog stars as Christian Bale plays a very realistic almost Christ like character total sacrificing himself for the betterment of his family, to avoid the desperate straits of failure and to remove any stain of unmanliness falsely assumed by his eldest son. Bale's character is the center of this film as he portrays the downtrodden hero pushed down by the powerful although a wounded veteran of the Civil War. Russell Crowe is an excellent choice to play the role as the evil but oddly sophisticated and intelligent Ben Wade; however, Crowe doesn't quite pull it off as Ford does. Ford's version is quietly more engaging with a subtle admiring respect of veteran Dan Evans yet he maintains an aura of mystery that makes you wonder how this man ever engaged in violent crime. Crowe comes close but the film in my estimation is a little over the top with special effects that somewhat resemble an Indiana Jones flick, which is more obvious comic book with no intention of hiding it. The movie also has too much gratuitous violence that is unnecessary and the worst part of the film is the ending where the chance of success are so unrealistically slim, it ruins the movie. In order for an adult western to be great, there has to be a realistic potential for the hero to survive against unreasonable odds but in this film, the odds are too extreme to give the viewer a sense that the villains can fail. The acting is pretty stand out and besides Bale, Ben Foster as Charlie Prince, Wade's young chief follower, plays a pretty scary, violent character that is very memorable. You may want to watch Glenn Ford's original, it is one of his best films, appropriately underplayed to make you wonder about the complicated man, Ben Wade.

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.
