James Mangold's 3:10 to Yuma restores the wounded heart of the Western and rescues it from the morass of pointless violence.

James Mangold directs it with such energy and passion that it's as if he didn't know it's all been done before.
James Mangold's remake walks a fine line in retaining many of the original's qualities while smartly shaking things up a bit.
A largely compelling ride on the strength of a powerful cast led by Russell Crowe and Christian Bale.
This is how a Western today tries to give us more bang for the buck. By working this hard to be a crowd-pleaser, though, it may please fewer crowds.
Captures a potent sense of the Old West with its multidimensional raw performances and captivating final shootout sequence. But with its emphasis on emotional truths, it transcends the confines of a cowboy movie.
More likely to be recalled as a moderately satisfying entertainment than remembered as a classic.
