Rey P Nov 6, 2018 This film was solid.

Han S Apr 8, 2018 3:10 to Yuma and 'The Hanging Tree are in my top 10 of great movies. Knowing the original so well, I walked out on the remake. I know the ending is unlikely but so perfect for this moralistic gem of a movie. Love every scene. See more

Hermione S Feb 2, 2018 Tense western about transporting a prisoner that shows the world is not as simple as black & white.

Luke P Jun 30, 2017 What a wonderful film. Taking a story that's so simple in nature and then adding suspense and interesting characters, it really makes for a unique movie experience. I especially enjoyed Glenn Ford's character. Even being the bad guy, he had this charm and charisma that made you like him right from the start. Then when you see how truly smart he is with all his psychological mind games, you see what unique character he is. I couldn't help but notice that some of the locations are referenced in Red Dead Redemption, one of my favorite all time games. It made me nostalgic. Overall, wonderful movie with an ending and characters that I feel like is more suiting than the 2007 remake. See more

Draco L Feb 28, 2017 A beautifully-filmed Western shot in Arizona in BW, this movie represents a classic confrontation between good and evil. Glenn Ford does a terrific job of making evil a sympathetic figure, and Van Johnson shows how good stands on feet of clay. See more

Hagrid W Jun 6, 2012 Although not as climatic, tension building and morally driven as the 2007 remake with Russell Crowe and Christian Bale the original 1957 version of 3:10 to Yuma contains a lot of class. And what amazes me is that it came out in 1957. For the time the script is so advanced it's outstanding. It also looks very modern and easily holds the test of time. This version focuses a lot more blatantly on who Ben Wade is and who Dan Evans is by showing you with actions who these people are in comparison to the 2007 film which they say what they feel and becomes a little more intriguing to who these men are. But this is what to expect for the period of time it was released. The opening song is pretty classy and the film spends about a half hour in a room waiting. If I hadn't seen the 2007 film before hand the tension I felt would have been even higher than I felt but this sequence really gets you into their characters. The ending is actually rather good and justifies the build up which is the best part of the film. It actually helped to explain a lot of the stuff that was only lightly touched upon in the remake. I think Glenn Ford and Van Heflin do a tremendous job with representing the two individuals. Its really a story driven by these two men and 3:10 to Yuma is right up there as one of my favourite westerns stories. It's innoventive and really changes the gear to many other westerns that can resemble each other a lot of the time. Where this film faults I feel is not what I'd call major faults. Soundtrack is pret stereotypical of the the time but can be pretty lame from time to time, as well as Ben Wades love interest being a little to over the top. I like what they do with her and I understand that she is justified to some degree and it shows us a lot about Ben Wade but they knew each other about an hour. I still justify it but it's still a tad over the top to understand how she feels this way and asks a lot of the audience to believe this. The journey from Bisby to Contagion isn't shown at all and maybe could have been like the 2007 version did to represent the trouble and size of the task that was on display. Overall I love both versions of this film, one more than the other but the classy style of the original has a lot to offer. See more
