3:10 to Yuma (2007): Russell Crowe and Christian Bale

Directed by James Mangold, and based on the story by Elmore Leonard, 3:10 to Yuma (2007) is a remake of the 1957 Classic of the same title. The story focuses on a desperate rancher who agrees to transport a captured outlaw to a train bound for Yuma prison... and the dangers he faces as a result. This modern twist pays homage to the original film by keeping much of the dialogue intact. It does, however, breath new life into the story as well... with gritty action and character developments. 3:10 to Yuma is tense from beginning to end, and worth the time. The cast is great, including Russell Crowe, Christian Bale, Peter Fonda, Ben Foster, Luke Wilson and Gretchen Mol.
