Excellent western

Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2017)

A real discovery! 3.10 is an amazing movie near to Eastwood's masterpieces of this genre but far away from Leone's philosophy. A movie of its own. In my eyes, an excellent photography, a screenplay with very few mistakes and an astonishing Russell Crowe are helping this movie to become a legend. It belongs to my top ten westerns near Leone's The good, the bad ... and For a few dollars more, John Ford's Rio Bravo and Liberty Valance, Tarantino's Django (except the blood), High Noon, Costner's Dance with wolves and Eastwood's Josey Wales and Unforgiven. Christian Bale is unfortunately playing a little too shy, not convincing at all as father even if his character is a key. But Mister Crowe let us forget this weakness. Highly recommended.
