WOW, Now Thats Entertainment!

Rating: 9/10 (13 May 2009)

James Mangold's '3:10 To Yuma' is one of the finest entertainers I've seen in years. A second adaptation of Elmore Leonard's short story, comes out a breath-taking flick
The story is fascinating, and Mangold directs the flick like a pro. Plus, mind-blowing cinematography by Phedon Papamichael Jr, excellent background score and top-notch performances make this one a winner. '3:10 To Yuma' is addictive stuff, once you take it in, you want more and more and more.
Performances: Russel Crowe is simply fantastic. He's astounding in the climax. Christian Bale is superb. His role is meaty and he justifies it to the T. Logan Lermen is very good as Bale's brave son. Luke Wilson is wasted. Ben Foster does well. Peter Fonda is in form. Dallas Roberts is good. Others are decent.
on the whole '3:10 To Yuma' is cinema at its very best, a fantastic entertainer. Two Big Thumbs Up!
