The adaptation to Elmore Leonard’s short story, this 2007 western film is the remake of 1957 movie with same name. James Mangold has done an excellent job in directing the story of a rancher, taking up the assignment of transporting a convict to Yuma, for desperate need of money.
The movie 3:10 To Yuma has a powerful cast including Russell Crowe as Ben wade and Christian Bale as Dan Evans, the outlaw and the rancher respectively. The supporting cast includes Ben Foster, Peter Fonda, Logan Lerman and Gretchen Mol, who served their purpose pretty well.
The film had been nominated for the Best Original Score and Best Sound Mixing at the 80th Academy Awards, and obviously received favorable reviews from the critics. The film remained on the top of Box Office at the opening weekend and was pretty well accepted by the audience, who got to see the western adventures on screen after a long time.
