I seen this in the cinema the otehr night and thoroughly enjoyed it. My interest in westerns had never really develpoed further than beyond the Clint Eastwood movies, however this film changed that. Christian Bale plays a poor farmer whose being bullied off his land by bailiffs and the railway company, his sons are ashamed of him and he feels as if he has failed his family. However the oppurtunity to change this around arises when Ben Wade (Russell Crowe); a ruthless criminal is caught and has to be taken to catch a train to prison. Bale offers to go for the large sum of money offered and also to make his sons proud of him. But to catch the 3:10 to Yuma he must track for many miles being hunted down by Ben Wade's bloodthirsty gang.
A nice big shoot out at the end that was very enteretaining and alot of pathos creeated for Bale and alot of admiration created for his noble character whose deteremined to go on in spite of everyone else leaving him and large bribes being offered. The bad guy with the white coat was pretty cool. All in all a great movie. I'll buy it on DVD when it comes out anyway.
There also seems to be some sort of mistake (or maybe I wasn't paying attention) but at one point Bale gets shot by an apache but then for the rest of the fim the wound is ignored. Watch out for it
