Movie Reviews of 3:10 to Yuma (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: A Terrorific Morality Play
Summary: 4 Stars
James Mangold uses the west as his prop, not to make a silly western, but, rather, to make a character study.
There are many characters worth following and analyzing. Some are developed better than others. The four that stand out as most deserving of the audiences attention are Dan Evans, a rancher down on his luck, with one leg, and representing the past as he resists the coming railroads; Ben Wade, the intelligent and sadistic leader of a ruthless gang; William Evans, son of Dan, dissapointed at his fathers mediocrity and a worshiper of Ben Wades' legend and no bs attitude; finally, Charles Prince, the evil second hand of the Wade gang, who has a little too much affection for Mr. Wade.
Ultimately, these four characters and their intertwined journeys make this movie the high quality, entertaining flick that it is. Dan and Ben are natural enemies. Dan is an old school moralist, with uncompromising principles. Ben is a hobbesian, taking what he wants and destroying anything that gets in his way. Yet, Wade is too intelligent and multifaceted to be pinned down into the cliched killer--Prince handles this role just fine. Ben shows signs of wishing for a family, wishing for something larger and more honorable than himself to believe in. While Dan for all of his moralistic bombast sees the fearlessness of Wade and wishes to imitate his kinetic energy and courage, even if this means turning into a killer. William, who is just 14, seems torn between respect for Ben Wade and love for his father.
As these characters interact with each other, the hammer molds a beautiful frame off the anvil.
Dan takes a job as a hired man to take Wade to the 3:10 train to Yuma, where Wade will be hung. Wade obviously wishes not to meet his fate in Yuma, nor does his gang. Charles Prince, with his homoerotic obsession for Wade, will do anything to stop the transfer. In the end, we find out that whether or not Wade gets on the train is irrelevant, but it does make for a shockingly thought provoking western.
Take heed, and watch slowly.
Summary of 3:10 to Yuma (Widescreen Edition)
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.
