Russell Crowe, Christian Bale, it sounded good to me already. Russell Crowe was one of the most charming outlaws I've seen since Emilio Estevez in Young Guns. The actions scenes were great, very sit on the edge of your seat. The heroism that Christian Bale showed in going after this outlaw just to prove to his son he wasn't a useless old man was a lesson we could all learn from....

Bill was a retired actor and one of the early commentators who could give you background and lore on the picture during the breaks. His material was often fascinating and always informative.   I’m sure many of the current commentators got their start listening to Bill or another like him.  This is the original <strong>3:10 to Yuma </strong>with <strong>Glenn Ford</strong> and <strong>Van Heflin</strong> as the bad guy and good guy, respectively.<br/><br/> A cattleman (<strong>Van Heflin</strong>), witnesses a robbery where a stage driver was killed then the gang vamooses.  Heflin is going broke and he was heading into Bisbee to ask for a loan to buy water rights to get his cattle through the drought.  So he continues into town after the robbery and runs into gang leader <strong>Glenn Ford</strong>, whom he saw robbing the stage.  He distracts Ford while the sheriff gets the drop on him. Now that they have him, what do they do with him?  They know the gang will...</p>...

It keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. I'm not a huge Russel Crow fan, but Russel Crow delivers an outstanding performance in 3:10 to Uma. He portrays a real likable out law that in the end you are not sure if you are on his side or the good guys side. I can't say it enought you need to see this movie!!!...

Christian Bale and Russell Crowe show why they, in my opinion, are two of the most skilled motion picture actors today. The chemistry between them was great and hopefully Hollywood has the sense to pair them in future movies. The story and action kept the viewer interested with wall to wall twists, though the ending was quite far fetched. It is a must have dvd in any movie lovers collection....

I enjoyed the storyline but the movies violence was a little too much for me.  Not graphic but a lot of killing!...

Russel Crowe was wonderful and so was his co star. the ending was just incredible. I am usually not a western movie watcher but this will be one that I purchase and put on my shelf. It didnt have to much love story or to much vilonce that it took away from the mivie. It kept me on the edge of my seat anticipating the ending. I can not recommend this to highly because here lately it is the best i have seen. I just wish that I would of seen it on the big screen. This is a must to view and buy for a collection....

The characters are well developed, complex and intriguing.  The acting was superb.  I thought the special effects were amazing, and we really enjoyed watching the special features that came with the DVD.  It's neat to see the making of the movie. They really thought every detail out. ...

This was originally recommended to me by someone whose taste in movies I'm not so sure about, but after hearing so many great things about it I went ahead and gave in! It was well worth it! This movie kept you on the edge of your seat a good bit and the plot was actually believable! The actors were great in their respective parts and the filming was excellent as well! I cannot wait to go out and buy this for my own DVD collection!! Another thing I enjoyed about it is that nowadays it is so hard to find a good action movie where every other word is not a curse word, but this movie did a good job at keeping the language to a minimum!...
