Random Review: 3:10 to Yuma

3:10 to Yuma was the first western i have ever seen. I may be overrating it because I love the genre (i think, i ordered unforgiven from the library). I think westerns are like boxing, in that people don't appreciate them until you see a full one, and then they start rooting for their guy, and really get into it. The movie was about a group of 7 people (by the end there were 3), who had to take Ben Wade, the most feared man in the wild west, to a train in Contention that would take him to a prison in Yuma. Evans, played by Christian Bale (batman) was only guarding him because he needed the $200 to get his house back from the bank. wade's gang, led by sociopath Charles Prince, chase after them. the movie climax's at Contention, where Prince tells everyone that he'll pay anyone $200 who kills Evans. The movie is great, although the ending is unrealistic. Not only do Russel Crowe (top 5 actor in Hollywood) and Christian Bale act amazingly, but Ben Foster as Prince, and Logan Lerman as Bale's son, also were great. I give it 3 1/2 stars.
