3:10 to Yuma - Review

What sticks out to me in this western film is the acting, because there is a ton of suberb actors with great talent in this film. Russell Crowe is amazing as outlaw Ben Wade. He is nasty and a stone-cold killer and yet so charismatic. He plays alongside the protagonist, Christain Bale. Now although Bale's Dan Evans doesn't really have any interesting character traits that make him different than many other heroes in Western movies, but Christain Bale always brings a great level or dedication and heart to his roles that he makes it work. The rest of the cast including Ben Foster, Peter Fonda, Alan Tudyk, Logan Lerman and Dallas Roberts all do an excellent job too. Now with lots of movies I've seen, either you get great acting, or great action. It's hard to find a film with both. This film has both. Bullets fly, and when they hit, you feel it. I also love how the wild west is shot in this film. In reality, I just love the aesthetic of Western films. If you are new to the Western Genre, this is a great one to start with because this film is fantastic!
