Just Seen: 3:10 to Yuma
What a great movie! Based on a short story by Leonard Elmore, the film achieves a rare unity of thematic coherence with the steadiness of action. Of course, having two great actors helps immensely create the tension and strife within each scene. The neverending battle(s) of good and evil portrayed here is pretty much clear from the very beginning - and there are quite a few battles going on at the same time. As with all Elmore's writing, the plot is very straightforward but the dialogues and the conclusions rarely are.
Hurray for Christian Bale!
Sounds better than the original classic. Your review has made want to see the remake. Christian's Bale intensity always makes it a pleasure to watch him, but "The American Psycho" scared me rigid, for the very reason.
