3:10 to Yuma critique review

I read three critiques of 3:1o to Yuma which in two of them their was not a bad thing to be said both say actors capture the essence of the wild west which is suspense, action,and the boost of adrenaline any good gun fight should give you. Neither man showboats here, and it’s a thrill to watch them work. In this movie these two big time actors both do not try to take over the movie which gives a perfect perspective from each of the charecters point of view. The distribution of their acting ability creates a believable vision of the Wild West as everyone has invisioned it before. The two main charecters of this movie are Dan Evans(Christian Bale) a man who lost a leg in the Civil War, has come to the Arizona territory to try his luck at ranching and Ben Wade(Russell Crowe) the leader of a lawless gang which sticks up stagecoaches, robs banks, casually murders people and outguns any opposition. Through a series of you could say unfortunate events Dan finds himself in the middle of transporting Ben Wade which he volunteers for so that his family has a real shot to make a good life for themselves. Both Dan and Ben have elements in their characters that come under test in this adventure. Dan wants to have one final heroic adventure in which he can finally feel as he accomplished something in his lifetime as where Ben Wade holds up stagecoaches and robs banks just so everyone knows he is the best and make sure that everyone fears Ben Wade and his gang of quick drawing bandits.Until then, ‘‘3:10 to Yuma’’ is a tonic: a throwback expertly retrofitted with new parts. I happen to believe that 3:10 to Yuma is th greatest Western I have ever seen with the sus pense that it draws from all sorts of different places such as throughout the movie Ben Wade's gang is in pursuit of them from the moment he is captured and countless decisions made which cause the transporters all sorts of problems. The other review said that the newer remake of the movie subtracted suspense from the original and added 24 minutes of filler. The blog that also thinks of 3:10 to Yuma as a crappy remake and embarresment to the whole western genre said, Oddly enough, a week after seeing the new movie in a theater on a giant screen and the old one on DVD, it's the old one that lingers in my mind. I thought this movie captured everything a western should with great directing and acting.
