Movie review of 3:10 to Yuma

3:10 to Yuma - 7.5/10
Directed by James Mangold

Plot Summary
Small time rancher (Bale) whose eldest son thinks he's a pussy,decides to bring a renowned yet dangerous outlaw (Crowe) to justice by escorting him to a train station. By bringing the outlaw to prison he wants yo prove to his son, that he ain't no pussy. During the journey both characters try to mindfuck each other. Based on a short story and also a remake of the same movie title in 1957.

Review
The acting in this movie is superb. Bale and Crowe were really good in their respective roles, but the one actor who really caught my attention is Ben Foster.He was just outstanding. From his posture to his accent every scene he is in, is cool. The cinematography and direction were pretty good in my opinion. Everything was going great right till the ending. Somehow the ending was good but I found it too mama drama. Whatever it is...for a western movie, I think it's still worth to watch it. Not sure if it has already been shown in the cinemas, if it has and you haven't caught it, I suggest you go rent, buy the dvd or just download the fucking thing.
