Breathes new life into a dying genre

Rating: 7/10 (6 October 2017)

I'm yet to see the original version of this film, but 2007's version of '3:10 to Yuma' is good enough to stand alone, without drawing any comparisons to the 1957 original. I thought this film was excellent in just about every area. From the plot to the acting and the cinematography and visuals, everything was as good as I've seen in a any modern Western film.
This film breathes new life into a dying genre. It's 10 years old now but we haven't had many Western films as big and bold as this one released since. In many ways it's a shame that Hollywood doesn't invest in making more modern Westerns like this one. There's definitely a market for more films like this, and part of the reason '3:10 to Yuma' stands out so much is that there is a severe lack of competition in its field. We need more films like this.
