You'd think that the whole genre of Westerns would be done by now. What more is there to do in the quintessential American movie?
Well, 3:10 to Yuma showed me that there's always a new twist to the familiar.
It was engrossing and the depth of the characters, the questions of good, evil, redemption, and perception were explored in such a meaningful way that I had a hard time pulling myself away (I usually watch a movie over 2-3 nights while working out).
Russell Crowe was fantastic as were all of the supporting actors.
Just a rich feast of complexity with a subtle hint of oak and rolling hills (oh wait, am I a wine critic?)
Seriously a great movie, well worth it.
