Acting at its finest.

Rating: 8/10 (10 March 2008)

If you are looking for a gun-blazing, high intense shoot em' up western, stick with 3:10 to Yuma. This movie is about ACTING and drama. Just under three hours, this film delivers acting at its finest. Casey Affleck, nominated for best supporting actor, deserved the award. No offense to any Ben fans, but Caseys performance in Gone Baby Gone and The Assassination of Jesse James blows Daredevil and Paycheck right out of the water. Brad Pitt does a very well job as Jesse James, showing his cold hearted and distant side from the rest of the cast. A few would say this is a slow movie, I would agree that it was more dramatic than anything. The "slowness" only added to the strong plot, without skipping a beat. Very strong plot. Very strong acting, as well as perfect casting. I give this movie an 8/10. Highly recommended for history buffs, strong acting gurus and western fans.
