3:10 To Yuma Premiere
Having premiered in August last year in the USA (!), 3:10 To Yuma finally makes its appearance in the Dutch cinemas. I was impressed by this movie, even though I’m not into western movies normally. The story is about Dan Evans (played by Christian Bale) who is a poor rancher and still owes a large amount of money to a very powerful man in Bisbee (a local place). He sees his chance to gain this money as a reward when outlaw Ben Wade (played by Russel Crowe) is captured. Dan Evans would receive $200,- as a reward for escorting Ben Wade to Contention where the 3:10 PM train will leave to Yuma, enough to save his land and support his family. During their journey, Dan and Ben form a band while Ben’s gang is on a pursue to rescue their boss.
A very good movie, though the ending might be somewhat sudden and harsh. See for yourself! I definately will -again- at the big screen!
