(Flash Review)
Based on the core story as the 1957 original, it tried to honor it on the 50 year anniversary. Again, a local rancher Dan, for the sum of $200, assists with escorting the dangerous and clever-minded Ben Wade to the 3:10 pm train to Yuma to go to trial for his years of robbing and murdering. Dan agreed to this as he is desperate for money to help save his ranch and his personal pride. Will Dan and his crew get Ben on that train? How many will survive this adventure as Ben's gang is hot on their tail? This movie had some very exciting action scenes, a nice constant tension formed the spine of the story and there were frequent morality jabs back and forth. There were also a few moments you questioned why a character did this or that like how a key charter took a bullet to the gut and was trotting on a horse again within hours without a grimace. So if you don't pick it apart too bad, it is a fine and entertaining movie. It was a high quality production with solid acting.
