3:10 to Yuma (2007)

A poor farmer decides to join the group which will escort a dangerous criminal to the train which will take him to prison.

This is a remake of a beautiful film released in 1957. Anyway I found it beautiful when I saw it long ago. This remake is pretty lame, apart from the central idea which is indeed beautiful, a demonstration of the spirit which drove civilization forward in the old American West, but actually more universal than just that. Other than that, what we see here is a pretty formulaic first half which becomes progressively insaner after that.

Rating: 35
