3:10 to Yuma

Rating (1-10, 10 being highest): 8

Quick Rating: (skip, watch, watch when no other choice): Watch it

Story Line: Russell Crowe is Ben Wade the notorious outlaw. He was captured and struggling rancher Dan Evans (Christian Bale) joined the party to escort him to the 3:10 prisoner train to Yuma jail. Story develops on the resolve and reasoning why Evans wants to do this job and Wade is not your typical ruthless outlaw.

What's good: Film gets more intense as it goes along.

What's bad: Action and western shooting is a little soft, but the storyline and acting made up for it.

Bottom line: Both Russell Crowe and Christian Bale did a good job, especially Bale. Very good story telling. A very good movie.
