(Flash Review)Based on the core story as the 1957 original, it tried to honor it on the 50 year anniversary. Again, a local rancher Dan, for the sum of $200, assists with escorting the dangerous and clever-minded Ben Wade to the 3:10 pm train to Yuma to go to trial for his years of robbing and murdering. Dan agreed to this as he is desperate for money to help save his ranch and his personal pride. Will Dan and his crew get Ben on that train? How many will survive this adventure as Ben's gang is hot on their tail? This movie had some very exciting action scenes, a nice constant tension formed the spine of the story and there were frequent morality jabs back and forth. There were also a few moments you questioned why a character did this or that like how a key charter took a bullet to the gut and was trotting on a horse again within hours without a grimace. So if you don't pick it apart too bad, it is a fine and entertaining movie. It was a high quality production with solid acting.

Very nice movie to watch, very much enjoyed. Russel Crowe is great and acting is great.

I had high hope before watching this. It is a highly-rated movie with great casts. I had to say I was disappointed. The movie is very long. Unnecessary scenes and pointless dialogues were scattered all over the movie. I believe this movie can be cut short into 1.30 hours at most, instead of 2 full hours like this. I had no problem with all actors' performances but felt bored after 1 hour passed because the movie still didn't go anywhere, and I had not got any excited from the movie yet. I know this movie is a remake. I intentionally watched this one first, then plan to watch the original later. Unfortunately, this version already gave me bad impression. Now I don't know what to expect with the original. But I will watch it anyway.

I'm yet to see the original version of this film, but 2007's version of '3:10 to Yuma' is good enough to stand alone, without drawing any comparisons to the 1957 original. I thought this film was excellent in just about every area. From the plot to the acting and the cinematography and visuals, everything was as good as I've seen in a any modern Western film.This film breathes new life into a dying genre. It's 10 years old now but we haven't had many Western films as big and bold as this one released since. In many ways it's a shame that Hollywood doesn't invest in making more modern Westerns like this one. There's definitely a market for more films like this, and part of the reason '3:10 to Yuma' stands out so much is that there is a severe lack of competition in its field. We need more films like this.
