  Review by Simon Ramshaw ★★★★½ 15

  Film #9 of Misty and Driver's Ultimate Western Adventure AKA Driving Misty Daisy.

  "I like this side of you, Dan." - Ben Wade

  This is everything a western should be. It ticks all of the following boxes:
  [_] Being completely bad-ass.
  [_] Being completely brutal.
  [_] Having compelling antagonists.
  [_] Having compelling protagonists.
  [_] Blurring the line between antagonists and protagonists.
  [_] Having bromance that reaches across the boundaries of good and evil.
  [_] Having entertaining supporting characters.
  [_] Having a wealth of characters that are cannon-fodder.
  [_] Maintaining a fast pace.
  [_] Dispensing unlimited ammunition into people or woodwork.
  [_] Having a fixed goal that it reaches in either a bad-ass shootout or another similar act of bad-assery.
  [_] Having a Gatling gun.
  [_] Having explosions.
  [_] Having an exploding horse.

  An exploding horse. More movies should have those.

  Review by Ethan Colburn ★★★★ 10

  Honestly, James Mangold might be the greatest studio director we have these days. He takes fun ideas and elevates them significantly, making the subject of his film extremely captivating.

  This reminded me a lot of Mangold's Ford v Ferrari. It's a super bro-y movie with some amazing sequences, and great performances. It's escapist without feeling cheap. While I was intrigued by Christian Bale's performance, this might be my favorite performance of Russell Crowe. He toes the line perfectly, making you afraid of him but drawn in by his charm.

  Ben Foster is also insanely good. I was happy to see him in such a crucial role. I hope this man gets cast in more things.

  I picked up this blu-ray at Goodwill, very fun blind buy!

  Is it wrong of me to love this so much? Me being a girl and all. Well, fuck it, I don't give a damn anyway.

  Review by 🇵🇱 Steve G 🐝 ★★★ 23

  If 3:10 To Yuma had ended about 20 minutes earlier than it did, I might have stuck 4.5 stars on it.

  Unfortunately, it has an ending is so utterly implausible and ridiculous, relying on a ludicrous shoot-out where all of a sudden no-one can apparently hit a cow's arse with a banjo and a final scene that is so preposterously thought out that I could hardly believe it, that I almost feel annoyed at giving it 3 stars. That's how much the denouement irritated me.

  What was even more annoying about it was the fact that, prior to that, the film had been the very definition of not being packed with the usual cliched shoot-outs. It also had the good…

  Review by YI JIAN ★★★★½ 5

  I ain't never been a hero, Wade.

  Didn't expect to love it like I love it, but here we are. The smooth and gradual formation of an unlikely yet intense bromance between the two major characters gave me the urge to stand up and cheer. I wish I did, maybe I should've, it's something worth celebrating. This is the first film by James Mangold that I truly enjoy, the ending is awe-inspiring, the music by Marco Beltrami is delightful, together they made me feel feelings. Something tells me that my ears are going to have a field day with Logan, now excuse me while I listen to the main theme on loop for the next few hours.

  I am a sucker for Westerns and “masculinity in crisis” stories so this remake hits my sweet spot.

  Review by matt lynch ★★★½

  Farmer can't pay his mortgage so the banker sets his barn on fire. Nobody tries to stop him. nor does anyone seem to care about stopping a murdering bandit until the railroad (notorious cinematic totem of capital) gets involved. The railroad pays the farmer barely enough to cover his debts in order to risk his life and stop the guy stealing from the railroad. That thread gets lost in favor of some good old fashioned masculine bonding and righteous, indignant individualism but I'll take it, even if the ending defies all narrative logic. Too bad this didn't come out after the 2008 crash.

  There's also a terrific, nearly 15-minute-long shootout at the end. Mangold shoots a lot of it in handheld close-up but cuts relatively sparingly, which is really important for clarity if you're gonna do that.

  Review by cristian pulsara ★★★★

  No pensaba que estuviera tan buena, y la verdad no había que dudarlo estando Christian Bale y Russell Crowe de por medio, dando buenas actuaciones con personajes que cumple de buena manera, además tienen una gran química, me gustaron bastante, las razones de Dan para hacer lo correcto a pesar de su condición y de su caso es tremendo, que gran tipo, y Ben wade alguien que no es malo del todo,eso lo demuestra conforme va avanzando la historia, mostrándonos un tipo que a pesar de sus cosas es alguien que tiene principios o que respeta a quienes ve diferentes al resto como en este caso a Dan, el director da una buena construcción a los personajes y también en…
