3:10 TO YUMA (2007)

JAMES MANGOLD

Plot

It's the late 19th century and in the West the railways are coming. Ruthless outlaw Ben Wade and his equally immoral gang feed off the wealth the lines bring, but after he's captured Wade is forced to confront his worst enemy, his conscience. As they travel across the deserts of Arizona towards the train that will deliver him to ultimate justice, a grudging respect develops between Wade and escort Dan, a dirt poor farmer who knows the values of right and wrong, but with Ben's men in hot pursuit what hope is there for doing the right thing in a world that remains largely lawless? "3.10 To Yuma" is considerably less thoughtful, pensive and believable than the dark pitiful honesty of ‘Unforgiven' but it's still an impressively put together and performed neo-spaghetti western.
