3:10 to Yuma

Ehhh, not nearly as good as I hoped it would be. I have very high standards for Christian Bale movies based on the fact that every movie he's ever made is freaking awesome. Alright maybe I have a slight mancrush on him even. This movie was alright, good acting, some cool music, some cool action scenes, but it was about as realistic as Toy Story, yet this was not animated. A few examples:
  • Russell Crowe's character behaves in a way that makes no sense as he's being escorted as a prisoner. He cooperates when he shouldn't sometimes and other times doesn't cooperate at all.
  • The people escorting him give him a fork at dinner and let him talk constantly despite the fact he is an evil bastard. He can physically dominate them, yet they let him ride a horse and walk next to them.
I'm sorry, but this just left me shaking my head at how dumb the leaps of faith were at the end. Come on, he likes Christian Bale's character so much that he'd risk his life for it? Then he'll kill all the people who just risked their lives to rescue him?? Sorry for ruining the movie. Very frustrating. I'll give it a 5/10.
