Review of 3:10 to Yuma (2007) by Kevin B — 18 Jul 2018
A possibly great movie ruined by the nonsensical ending.
OK, so as we watch a movie, we get to know the characters, their motivations, how they'd behave in certain situations, etc.
Ben Wade does something that is completely out of character at the end of the movie concerning his gang. *Maybe* I can believe about Charlie Prince, but *not* the rest of his gang. On second thought, not Charlie Prince either. Not believable at all. Ruined the movie for me.
I loved how his pistol was named, "the Hand of God". There is some really pretty cool stuff here. Ben Foster's Charlie Prince character was awesome along with Russell Crowe as Ben Wade. I'm not even a big Russell Crowe fan, but this was a great role for him. That's why the ending was so disappointing for me. A typical "feel good" Hollywood ending, whereas this movie deserved better.
