In Arizona in the late 1800's, infamous outlaw Ben Wade (Crowe) and his vicious gang of thieves and murderers have plagued the Southern Railroad.

When Wade is captured, Civil War veteran Dan Evans (Christian Bale), struggling to survive on his drought-plagued ranch, volunteers to deliver him alive to the "3:10 to Yuma", a train that will take the killer to trial. On the trail, Evans and Wade, each from very different worlds, begin to earn each other’s respect.

But with Wade’s outfit on their trail – and dangers at every turn – the mission soon becomes a violent, impossible journey toward each man's destiny.

Strong early reviews but sluggish tracking for 3:10 to Yuma

Variety has weighed in on 3:10 to Yuma, and it's a good solid review from Todd McCarthy.

"3:10 to Yuma is a tense, rugged redo of a film that was pretty good the first time around. Reinforced by a strong central premise, alert performances, a realistic view of the developing Old West and a satisfying dimensionality in its shadings of good and evil, James Mangold's remake walks a fine line in retaining many of the original's qualities while smartly shaking things up a bit."

As for the performances, McCarthy raves about Russell Crowe, Christian Bale kid actor Logan Lerman and Peter Fonda:

"Crowe is completely in his element here as, in the best tradition of great stars, he betrays no effort in conveying the masculine confidence, psychological acuity and manipulative power of his alluring bad guy; his Ben is one slick customer and more. Bale, whom one can imagine being effective in his own way as the villain, well embodies the strengths and frailties of the Eastern-bred rancher without sentimentality; and Lerman earns notice as a kid ready to skip adolescence and burst into full-blown manhood. Supporting turns are vivid, including a wonderfully leathery characterization by Peter Fonda as a supremely tough old bounty hunter."

Meanwhile, Michael Rechtshaffen from the Hollywood Reporter is also very positive:

"Pulling into theaters a full 50 years after the arrival of the original Van Heflin-Glenn Ford classic, James Mangold's expanded take on 3:10 to Yuma makes for a largely compelling ride on the strength of a powerful cast led by Russell Crowe and Christian Bale."

Rechtshaffen, however, also has a warning for Fantasy Moguls players:

"Lionsgate has bumped up the film's release to get a prime berth on the awards-season express, but Yuma still remains a tricky commercial proposition. Obviously much is being made of the fact that the film is from the directing and producing team responsible for Walk the Line as well as that match-up of two of the more intense actors in the business. But the genre and the darker subject matter is still going to require strong word-of-mouth and stronger marketing to attract audiences."

3:10 to Yuma is set for wide release on Sept. 7, but New Line's Shoot 'Em Up, starring Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti and Monica Belucci, is also going wide that day and seems to have more early traction in industry tracking. Shoot 'Em Up is at 25 percent Awareness (Males Under 25, 36 percent; Males 25 Plus, 27 percent; Females Under 25, 19 percent; Females 25 Plus, 17 percent) compared to 20 percent for Yuma (Males Under 25, 18 percent; Males 25 Plus, 33 percent; Females Under 25, 11 percent; Females 25 Plus, 18 percent). Plus, the New Line action pic wins in Definite Interest in a walk with 32 percent (Males Under 25, 35 percent; Males 25 Plus, 37 percent; Females Under 25, 23 percent; Females 25 Plus, 26 percent) to just 23 percent for the western (Males Under 25, 20 percent; Males 25 Plus, 27 percent; Females Under 25, 17 percent; Females 25 Plus, 20 percent).

It's still almost three weeks until this showdown happens with guns a blazin', but right now Shoot 'Em Up has the edge. My hunch is that more reviews like those of McCarthy and Rechtshaffen will drive a late surge in the tracking and still lift Yuma to a weekend win.

I did not like The Proposition and haven't really seen any other westerns. The trailer for the new Jesse James film looked amazing as does the trailer for this. I am a fan of both Bale and Crowe.

with that in mind, Do you think I would enjoy this film???

Yeah I hated the Proposition too it bored me to death. I hope this movie is more in the vein of Tombstone or Unforgiven.

I haven't seen Tombstone or Unforgiven, I guess I should rent them to see if I like the western genre. Every review I read for 3:10 to Yuma mentions how good the Proposition was. Considering I did not like The Proposition Id have to assume I wouldn't like this (or the Jesse James one). Although the trailer for both films are very engaging. I guess I should check out some other westerns before I go see 3:10.

Christian Bale is close to a deal to star opposite Russell Crowe in James Mangold's 3:10 to Yuma, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Relativity Media is stepping in to finance the film, which has been without a home since Columbia Pictures put it into turnaround earlier this summer. Columbia spent four years developing the Western remake, which it had hoped to start filming this summer. Relativity is currently in negotiations with Columbia to distribute.

3:10 to Yuma is based on the 1957 film that starred Glenn Ford as captured outlaw Ben Wade, who finds himself in the custody of small-time rancher Dan Evans. The rancher is secretly trying to take the outlaw to a railway station to catch a train to Yuma for the outlaw's court date. A battle of wills ensues.

Mangold's take sees Crowe as the outlaw and Bale as the rancher. Michael Brandt, Derek Haas and Stuart Beattie have all contributed to the screenplay.

The movie is on track for a fall shoot. Mangold has directed Walk the Line, Identity, Kate & Leopold, Girl, Interrupted and Cop Land.

I wonder why Bale is doing a movie with that arrogant jerk?

^^^

Who are you talking about?

 

[Hunter Rider]

I wonder why Bale is doing a movie with that arrogant jerk?

Crowe ? b/c he's one of the best actors in the world and the script/director/character is really good, at least according to the reviews.

Why am I not seeing any TV spots on TV for this???? you'd think with so many A list stars in it...it would get more press?

An why so early in Sept....that's usually the time for turd films are released?
