Stupendous, exciting and brilliant.

Rating: 10/10 (16 September 2007)

This is pure hair-raising emotional film making and i haven't put a doubt about James Mangold directing any film since Walk the Line. 3:10 To Yuma lives up to Walk the Line and i couldn't have been more moved or thrilled by this epic western remake. The two most outstanding actors throughout the film were Russell Crowe and Ben Foster. My reasons are, that they both firstly were the best choice for the two roles they portray and their acting is inconceivably fantastic. The action is very realistic and brutal. It's also nice to see a descent western brought to the big screen and pulling of in such great flair. It does not dwell on any previous westerns instead 3:10 To Yuma is fresh from the fridge.
The music add's a lot of context and layers the overall film with a thumping soundtrack, that reminds me of the The Good the Bad and the Ugly. PLease let there be more westerns, especially from James Mangold who, once again proves he is the best at great dramatised, emotional, action packed and brilliant film's.
