 A complicated cowboy flick where you're conflicted about whether to root for the guys in the white hats or the black hats by the time the big showdown arrives.
 3:10 to Yuma rehashes western motifs -Exciting, looks great, and even with the heavy emphasis on gunplay and action, it's well acted, especially by Christian Bale.
This tense character piece offers proof that Hollywood can still make a good, traditional Western, rather than emulating the revisionist Westerns that have followed in the wake of Clint Eastwood's 1993 Academy Award-Engaging, well made Western with exciting action sequences, a thought-[Director James] Mangold has been smart or fortunate in casting, and personalities sustain interest even when the narrative flags.
In 1957, the climax looked like Hollywood wish-It's way too early to signal the rebirth of the western at the movies, but if it happens, it'll be because of smart and thoughtful entertainment like this that sucks audiences in whether or not they care how the West was won.
Even with its flaws, it's a dusty horse ride that's well worth taking and more proof that the western never dies.
Too bad that, for all its good intentions, the Yuma remake left its cowboy logic back at the station.
An attention-Great action, sets and camera work set this traditional western up for success in spite of stereotypical good guys and bad guys
Remains an evocative morality tale about what makes men good, what makes them bad and what makes them ugly.
Crowe is a perfect rogue showing us Wade's mean and nasty side, along with some charm and intelligence
Not quite on par with the 1957 version, perhaps, but certainly acting as a proper update instead of just a lazy rehash.
Kudos to director James Mangold for not letting anything stand in the way of splendid performances in this impressive remake.
James Mangold probably won't like me calling his latest film a solid formula movie, but that's what 3:10 to Yuma is.
If the original overplayed its naivet�, the update of 3:10 to Yuma overplays its cynicism only to sell it out at the end.
The new "3:10 To Yuma" is an excellent horse opera. Catch it before it leaves town.
A wonderfully old-

[Director] Mangold succeeds on his own terms, largely because the actors he's working with here, Russell Crowe and Christian Bale, so comfortably inhabit the movie, and the genre that cradles it.
The best Western since Unforgiven, 3:10 to Yuma is both cathartic and intelligent. While a wildly eventful action-3:10 to Yuma manages to incorporate the rhythms of a contemporary action movie while maintaining a healthy respect for the tenets of the genre. That makes it a train well worth catching.
[Director] Mangold has brought welcome intensity to the project, giving 3:10 to Yuma a visceral, immediate quality that makes it realistic and mythic all at the same time.
Maybe this redo didn�t need so many bells and whistles, but Mangold brings it home.
Moves like a barn on fire.
Russell Crowe and Christian Bale are the main reasons to see 3:10 to Yuma, a serviceable addition to the current western revival.
When a movie is as entertaining as this one, you begin to think this formerly beloved genre is due for a revival.
The performances of Mr. Crowe and Mr. Bale alone are worth the price of admission.
Russell Crowe and Christian Bale are two of the finest actors of their generation, and their talents are put to great use.
