3:10 To Yuma
Great movie. Beautifully photographed, terrific acting, an iconic western with homages to John Ford, Sergio Leone and High Noon. Russell Crowe is playing Marlon Brando, but at least he's aiming high (pun intended) and succeeding. Christian Bale is wonderful and Ben Curtis, Logan Lerman (who went to pre-school with my son) and Peter Fonda (of all people) delivery outstanding supporting performances.
If you love westerns, you'll love this movie. Even if you don't, it's a wonderful entertainment and you'll be talking about it long after you leave the theater. Highly recommended.
