Best western I've seen since Unforgiven

Rating: 8/10 (16 January 2008)

I normally wait until someone whose taste in movies I trust recommends a western to me before I go and watch it. Cause I am not a fan of the genre. The odd one stands out for me. The Good, the Bad and the ugly. Shane. Unforgiven. High Noon. The sons of Katie Elder. The series of 'The Virginian'. And the remake of the 3.10 to Yuma joins that list. There is all you want from a good western (I don't do politics so there is no revisionism comparison in this review). The baddies are really bad, the good guys are truly good yet naive and unsteady. What makes it special is the deeper human touch that runs trough this movie. The interaction between the characters is allowed to develop throughout. Also the use of scenery is kept to a minimum so as not to interfere with the developments. Great movie, great entertainment and contrary to some reviews I thought the ending was appropriate!! Go watch it!!! I bet you won't regret it!
