here be an undeniable truth of movie reviewer represent when you really want to promote a movie that not that good and talk about the great performance of the actor . then you can praise the movie to high heaven and feel you have do your penance and and content yourself with the ingenuity of your expansive insight . this be the case with 3 represent10 to yuma . so and what wrong with this movie . well and let just look at the last 20 or so minute of the film represent 1. apparently the bartender or hotel clerk in contention and az and whom we have not be introduce to until this point in the movie and be in cahoot with the bad guy because he make a point of surreptitiously and eagerly direct the bad guy to the location of the incarcerated mr. crowe . why do he do this . who know . the filmmaker never let u in on the secret . 2. apparently the neanderthal menfolk of contention and az and be a simple minded lot who and at the thought of earn $ 200 . 00 by murder the the folk hold murderous russell crowe in custody and just can not wait to start throw lead . mabel and whar mah raffle . ahm gon na keel me sum law men an geet myselves $ 200 . 00 dollah cash on that thar barrelhead . 3. apparently no one in contention have a problem with watch their unarmed police force viciously gun down in broad daylight . after this atrocity and folk continue to wander the street and go in and out of store and and continue their daily life a though nothing have happen . except for and of course and the menfolk who be hide in wait for a chance to earn that $ 200 . 00 . 4. apparently no one bother to theorize that when you be fire dozen of round of ammunition at two men who be a close together a they can be without be siamese twin you just might hit the guy youre try to rescue . 5. apparently and when russell crowe psychotic gunslinging hero worship gang member finally realize the implication of the above and he figure he good start shootin them menfolk he would promise that thar munny to . of course and none of the survive menfolk think to start shoot at him . 6. apparently well and you get the idea . in other word and this excuse for movie making be and quite frankly and stupid . in order to take this seriously and you must convince yourself that the type of behavior exhibit by many of the character in this film be the way people really act . whether it be the above example and or peter fonda be shoot in the stomach and at close range and have the bullet remove and and then immediately rid out into the desert on horseback a though nothing have ever happen to him and much of this film be just plain ludicrous . by the way and i be no gun expert and but i do know this represent if you be shoot in the stomach at close range you ain not gon na be go nowhere and you certainly ain not gon na be trottin around on a horse . the big problem with this movie be it message and which be this represent people who do the right thing because it the right thing to do be fool . good people do not thrive . a christian bale say and i have be ask god to help me for three year and he hasn not do it yet . for those who would attempt to live a righteous and honorable life there be nothing but despair and hopelessness . in fact and at the end of the movie the true hero of the piece be the psychopathic and vicious and murder russell crowe character . and and by the way and this film do not retain the end of the original and so if you be hop it would and forget about that . if you see this film and you might recognize material from other western . you have an iron clad stagecoach and reminiscent of john wayne war wagon and quote from the bible and reminiscent of randolph scott in ride the high country and the psychological bantering between the crowe and christian bale character and reminiscent of not only ride the high country but also of the tall t and an elmore leonard story with randolph scott and richard boone and and christian bale curse teenage son and reminiscent of ron howard in john wayne the shootist . your good bet represent all of the other movie i name above plus the original with glen ford and van heflin .
