Timeless
This movie may look like a western, but that's only its setting. It touched on many contemporary (and timeless) issues such as immigrant labor, empire building, family obligations and situational ethics to name a few.

At the core of this story is an amazing dynamic between freedom (represented by successful stagecoach robber Ben Wade) and desperation (represented by failing farmer Dan Evans). Crowe's Ben Wade reminded me of a bored professional: He plans and executes stargecoach robberies and longs for more challenging opponents. He's vicious and violent, but only when the situation requires it.

In contrast, Bale's Dan Evans is beset by drought, debt and a family that doesn't respect him. The movie opens with his barn being burned down as a warning from his creditors. His desperation and lack of options drives him to sign up to escort captured Wade to the Contention train station.

Over the course of the trip to Contention, we learn more about Wade and Evans and why they have become the men they are. I really appreciated the large and small points-of-view that make this story resonate with me.

310 To Hell
310 to Yuma is a great western, the whole cast does a great job, this is the best Peter Fonda has been in a long time, I think its the best Russel Crowe has been since Gladiator. i wasnt sold on Christian Bale now i like Him. 310 remimded me of Clint Eastwoods westerns, its dark and violent like High plains drifter, the Physco killer from the Wade gang was played briliantly. The young man who played Dan Evans son does a great job. 310 follows the original closley the parts that are different make it better. Love the widescreen format.

One of the Best
One of the best movies I've seen in a while. I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said. Great acting. Tremendous story. And an ending that satisfies. A movie you will watch again and again.
