3:10 to Yuma
Just watched it. Really good, especially for a Western. Because of Bale I think I have discovered I enjoy more genres of movies than I thought I did. Though of course sci-fi/dark/action & fantasy are always my favorite. :)
There were many good actors in this film.
I watched it on tv-links.cc, which I am disappointed I forgot about. I could have watched this & Rescue Dawn on it over the summer, as well as a decent version of Swing Kids. What a shame. Oh well, I remembered it and watched 3:10 to Yuma today. It is really good, but has a strange ending, though an ending suiting to a Western, I would assume. Bale pulls off the accent well, I believe, and works well with it, because it is not as thick (his character is originally from Massachusetts).
There is a definite homoerotic overtone between Charlie & Ben Wade, though it is definitely one-sided, as Ben doesn't seem to acknowledge, or at least only uses Charlie's affection for him. This may partially be because I saw something on LOGO about it, but really, if you listen at one point to Charlie's voice when he says "I'll wait for you" it doesn't sound like a lackey talking to "Boss" as he so frequently calls him, it's rather subtle, but it's there. I do think it's a good movie, probably not one I'll buy, but a good one, for sure. I want to read the short story now... Bale films are adding so much literature to my already-large reading list.
