Reviews:
“Good It's perfectly paced, suspenseful, and ends in a way that's both appropriate and satisfying. Watching a movie like this, I can't help but wish that the Western would come back into favor again. We can use more productions like this. “Berardinelli, Internet Critic
“Excellent James Mangold's "3:10 to Yuma" restores the wounded heart of the Western and rescues it from the morass of point-less violence.” Roger Ebert
“Good 3:10 to Yuma 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.” USA Today
“Very Good Director James Mangold, who hit his stride with the Johnny Cash biopic WALK THE LINE, delivers another solid punch with this hard-edged and marvelously acted remake of Delmar Daves' classic 1957 western.” TV Guide Online
