3:10 To Yuma

-Yes, 3:10 is the time the train arrives to Yuma.

Summary- A rancher volunteers to deliver a famous outlaw to Yuma where a train will transport the outlaw to prison. The journey is a long and hard one with the outlaw’s posse chasing close behind them and the outlaw playing mind tricks on his captors.

Review-
I really enjoyed this movie. Now, there are some story problems, especially what happens at the end (won’t ruin any spoilers), but overall the movie was highly entertaining. What I really liked about this movie was the absence of a clear villain (aka the villian was a well-rounded and developed character) . Yes the outlaw (played by Russell Crowe) was an outlaw, but he also had redeeming qualities. On the other hand, his captors aren’t heroic or noble, and many of them are in fact easy to dislike. Even the brave rancher has certain character flaws that is revealed in the film. Christian Bale, Russell Crowe, and Ben Foster all deliver great performances. If you are into westerns, make sure to check out this film.

Recommendations-
Recommended movies may not share similar story elements or movie techniques with the reviewed movies. They are simply personal opinions that I think will give a good indication on if you will enjoy the reviewed movie. If you want to add or want me to remove a recommendation, please reply below with the movie name and reason.

Star Wars Episode IV-VI (I know this is a weird recommendation, but Star Wars is modelled after a western and has a sympathetic villain.)
I haven’t watched many westerns, so I don’t have much input here.
