An enjoyable western that's an excellent reminder of how - in the world of movies - sometimes less is best.

Despite an abundance of talk, this 1957 film is often considered [Daves'] best.
01/01/00
During the 1950s, the Western grew a conscience.
08/25/07
Although not as nerve-wracking as High Noon, 3:10 to Yuma is even more claustrophobic… and the two-character drama is more intriguing than High Noon's protagonist standing alone.
09/21/07
Made in the vein of The Gunfighter and High Noon, this mature psychological Western is arguably Delmer Daves best film, featuring Van Heflin (in the Gary Cooper role) and Glenn Ford as the bad-good guy at their most appealing and accomplished.
08/14/07
The minutes tick toward 3:10, and all we can do is watch and hope that it all turns out ok. That's the best kind of Western, one that allows feelings like that to emerge while watching.
09/07/07
A taut Western (obviously inspired by High Noon) about a lone man bravely standing on principle when all others have abandoned him. Marred only by a phony ending.

Fine Daves, Ford collaborative western

No amount of climactic train smoke can mask the fact that the finale is fancifully optimistic gibberish.
09/09/07
This is a first-rate action picture -- a respectable second section to High Noon.
03/25/06
It's rather talky but always remains lively and tense.
01/08/05
Though it is masterful in stretches, it ultimately mistakes feel-good qualities for truly satisfying ones.

The enjoyment here that outweighs the film's derivativeness comes in the dialogue and relationship developed between outlaw and rancher.
05/23/06
The new 3:10 to Yuma will have to be quite a film to stand up to the original.
