This screams out for you to see the ORIGINAL!

Rating: 1/10 (3 March 2012)

The original 3:10 to Yuma with talented, magnetic, and sexy actors Glenn Ford and Van Heflin is one of the best Westerns ever made. Crisp direction, believable plot and character development, terrific mood and atmosphere, fine cinematography. Great music even, and music can add a LOT to a Western. Get it from your public library or on NETFLIX and you'll spend a worthwhile hour and a half.
I always have doubts when a classic is remade. It is usually not as good, but this one is bloody awful! I've read so many pithy critical reviews of this version that there is really no need to add any details. I WILL say, during my viewing of the DVD I kept backing it up and replaying scenes, saying to myself, "I must have misunderstood, cause that makes no sense!" or "I can't believe that just happened; that is absurd." Sure enough, the movie absolutely insults our intelligence and our credulity, over and over again.
I liked the review that was titled "plot holes that can be seen from outer space." Amen to that. SEE THE ORIGINAL 50's VERSION if you want to see a good Western, which bears no resemblance to this remake.
