The West was a 21st century iousubopity. Dead genre? Far from it, but the big hits are certainly less and farther away, covering a wider range of material than what was once considered a traditional western. There is today's "neo-Western", the best example of Cohen's brothers "No country for the old people" and turned into Media phenomenon all of its from Taylor Sheridan. It has an art film west, absent cowboy and six pistols - for example, "Paul Thomas Anderson" on "There will be blood". And then, here's the modern remake: "Real Grit" in 2010, but three years before, Less valued film gem at "3:10 to Juma" by Jameseims Mangold.

Remake of the 1957 Glen Ford movie (both are based on the story of Elmor Leonard), Mangold's film has received excellent views and has two spectacular leading performances by Russell Crowe and Christian Bale, but it's not a movie that you are hearing about these days. After the announcement, the famous critic Roger Ebert used it as an opportunity to complain about the fall of the traditional Western form of "3:10 to Yuma", in the midst of all neo-west and other variations of the genre, is incredibly true.

"Western in his glorious days was often a moral play, a story of humanistic values ​​that penetrate the lawless anarchy at the border." Ebert He wrote in his 2007 review, in which he gave the film a perfect four stars. "But the audience's appetite for moral representations and Western seems to be faded."

Although made 50 years after the original film, "3:10 to Mangold" is very faithful to the story of his predecessor, with only a few significant changes. The plot is followed by Dan Evans (Christian Bale), ranch-on-on-his-luck on the territory of Arizona in the 1880s. Desperate for the money, Dan agrees to join the position accompanied by the famous Army and robber on the Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) highway in the city of arguments, where Wade will be loaded on the train 3:10 to Juma Prison.

On the way, the two reveal that they have more in common than they initially believed, with each carrying surprisingly to the other. This dynamics, played by Crowe and Bale, is the heart and soul of the film and is being built to an unforgettable climax.

"Here the quality of acting and thought behind the film makes it look like an avant -garde of something new, though it is a 50 -year -old good film," Ebert wrote in his review and he was on the spot. The aspect of morality plays the film - one person who wants to risk something for his family's well -being, and the other reminds of what it is like to do the right thing - is a simple but deeply effective, anchored by a strong script and a sharp film craft from Mangold (who later continued to do another, less traditional in 2017.

If Ebert's perfect result and the promise of a flawless leading duo is not enough to make you want to check "3:10 on Yuma", know that the accompanying team is just as strong. A young Logan Lerman plays a small, but key role like Dan's son, William, Alan Tudik appears as a Kinduube Doc Potter, and Peter Honda and Ben Foster stole scenes as a veteran of sale and unstable Wade's second command, respectively.

Currently, the film is only available to be transmitted to Peacock, though it can be rented and "buy" digitally from other places like Apple TV and Amazon. Of course, as more and more people realize, "Purchase" film digitally does not guarantee your ownershipSince the output from which you will buy it, it can still remove the film later or recall access. Well, why not accept the old -fashioned nature of "3:10 of Yuma" as I would like Roger Ebert and get a good all.

That is, this was a secret for physical media. You are welcome.
