3-10 to Yuma

[hool10]

Well I saw it on some website and now I gotta see it in full quality (as in buy the DVD). It's worth a watch because it's the best western film since The Good The Bad And The Ugly. Russel Crowe is a really good villain and Christian Bale is brilliant as usual. What happens is a farmer (Bale) who is struggling to make a life for his wife and kids in the Frontier after leaving the Union when he lost his leg. Crowe sets fire to his barn for his horses and Bale sets out for justice. He finally captures Crowe and they must set out for a prison in Yuma. Getting from point A to point B is'nt easy with Crowes thugs on chase, Indians, greedy people, and Crowe himself. Tons of stunt work and the movie feels like it was made in that period of time. Camera work was also good and there was no jiggily cam! Not even in intense shoot-outs. Makes it more intense imo because you know what going on instead of trying to focus your eyes.

The director has a pretty good filmography.
I might actually see this in theaters.

 

[DeusExMachina]

An excellent film. Better than the original. And the best Western since the Proposition .

 

[Gunner]

You got the story wrong.

 

[Asuka]

Was a good movie, nothing i would go crazy over.

 

[hool10]

You got the story wrong.

How? I didn't see who set fire to his barn because it was a cam video but I thought it was Crowe.

 

[DeusExMachina]

Nope. They state who did it a few times during the film.

 

[Gunner]

Well it wasn't really that important but you should still know because some dialogue is related to it.

Spoiler

There's a guy in town, forgot his name, lent money to Bale. Bale failed to make the payments, so the guy sent that douchebag (guy who got stabbed in the throat a thousand times) to set fire to Bale's barn. Next day when Bale goes to town, en route he meets Crowe and his gang of misfits, to talk to the guy to give him more time to repay him. And then there's the bar scene where Bale stalls Crowe.

 

[Ennui]

I'm definitely going to go see this.
