3:10 to Yuma

Last weekend a friend, my wife and I went to see the remake of 3:10 to Yuma. I really enjoyed it and think it is a tale of what true courage is. On some of the online forums I read, I’ve seen complaints of people saying they had a hard time to telling who the hero or good huy is. I had no problem with that. It was Christian Bale’s character (Dan Evans). He epitomizes character and moral fortitude. At times he waivers, but he remains on the path of what is right.

Dan Evans example actually redeems the character of Ben Wade (Russel Crowe) at the end of the movie. Wade was a heartless killer, who, after seeing Dan Evans repeatedly do what was right, chose to do the right thing at the end. This is despite the fact that Wade will most likely face the hangman at the end of the movie.
