Hmmm... I seem to be the only one that didn't like 3:10. I thought it was good up until they left the hotel. At that point, I thought it went from being a fairly realistic movie to Hollywood schmaltz. The ending ruined what was otherwise a good movie.

I guess I'm picky, but I haven't found a Western I really enjoyed since The Unforgiven. I'm still looking forward to seeing Jesse James though.

What you didn't buy the plausibility of a man with a wooden leg running around like Rambo at the end?

Who was the guy who played Russell Crowe's ruthless sidekick? Because whoever that was was awesome.

I didn't find the ending to Yuma schmaltzy at all.

The way Crowe's character ices his whole crew? That was fantastic.

Checked out IMDB. I had no idea 3:10 To Yuma was a remake, crazy. Written by Elmore Leonard too.

I didn't really have a problem with it either and I loved the spoiler. I just knew someone else that had a problem with the Rambo deal so I assumed that was the beef.
