All and all, 3:10 to Yuma was a solid action flick set in the wild old west. The movie is smartly written and very well acted by the principle and the ensemble crew (including Peter Fonda, Alan Tudyk, and Luke Wilson). In addition to all the expected gunfighting and horse chases, there's a good story line with Evan's character (a down on his luck homesteader and family man) and his son William (who resents his father and has wide eyed respect for Wade and his outlaw lifestyle). Wade's character also has a lot of depth which comes out as the movie progresses.
One thing that I appreciated very much was the realism of the film. All shooting was done on location in the West and almost no computer effects were used. The scenery is gorgeous and everything feels connected to it.
We watched 3:10 To Yuma on bluray and the movie really shines in HD. There are plenty of extras on the disc including a making of, a decent historical look at western outlaws, and much more. Well worth spending an extra hour or so viewing this material.
All and all, I enjoyed 3:10 To Yuma a lot. It's a great new take on a film genre that doesn't get much attention anymore. (I should also mention that it's a remake of a 1957 film, but I haven't seen the original, so I can't comment and that.)
