3:10 to Yuma (2007) - Full Reaction

Excellent reaction. Damn good movie. The interaction between the Christian Bale character and the Russell Crowe character is mesmerizing. One of the best performances I've seen by Russell Crowe. Recommended westerns: --THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES (1976) (Clint Eastwood stars/directs) [RT=91%] [nominated for Oscar for Best Music, Original Score] --PALE RIDER (1985) (Eastwood stars/directs) [RT = 93%] --HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER (1973) (Eastwood stars/directs) [RT = 94%] --TRUE GRIT (2010) (Coen brothers). I took my kid to see in theater on Christmas Eve 2010. Nominated for 10 Oscars including Best Picture, Jeff Bridges, a young Hailee Steinfeld, Directing, Screenplay, Cinematography, and Costume Design. --DEAD MAN (1995) (Johnny Depp) [instrumental music (e.g., electric guitar) written & performed by Neil Young that fits the movie perfectly.] --GODLESS (2017) miniseries (7 episodes). IMDb=8.2. Nominated for 13 Emmys including Outstanding Limited Series. Won 3 Emmys including Jeff Daniels (who is stunning). --KUNG FU (1972) TV series. Stars David Carradine (also in Kill Bill). America didn't even know what kung fu was before that series. Struck me when Office Space (1999) pointed out the series.

Clay F

Yeah right? I loved it too, because her reactions are just so damn likeable :D I felt that I kill you also really deep in my heart :D

KaffeeKind

Crowe, Bale and Foster were great in this film, which was really well done. As much as I enjoyed it, however, I still prefer the original from 1957, with Glenn Ford, Van Heflin, and Richard Jaeckel. Slightly different.

Junior

"I kill you" this is just so damn aswsome to watch :-)

Kim Brink

Cassie should check out a comedic western, McClintock or Support your local sheriff would be good

Naturekitty5309

Cannot wait for Cassie to watch Jackie Brown (1997).

Larry Darrell

I Love the Classic Style of Writing. The viewer knows what happened, without being specifically told or shown. Man They Don’t Make ‘Em Like They Used to.

Larry Darrell

So glad you watched this one. I was out of town when you posted it and have been dying to get home to watch this one with you. Now go watch a comedy to break up all the sad movies!

Yaisu

Cassie FYI anything you do and put online is to intense, we are not all mil's.

Danny T

I'm with you on the Searchers, Shane, and True Grit.

Christopher Carr

Both versions are good.

Christopher Carr

I've found myself waiting for Cassie to recognize an actor so many times.

John Casamassa

Deadwood is pretty hardcore though. Cassie would spend a lot of time under her blanket and the YouTube edits would be about two minutes long with hardly any sound.

Dazman

Hell yes... Deadwood!!!

Robert H

Deadwood is a favorite of mine. I'd like Cassie to try it but not sure it'll happen. Hope I'm wrong. There are a few reactions to Deadwood. Currently watching a reactor named BA ( Scottish I think). Pretty entertaining

nick bell

The Pinkertons were basically mercs, mercenaries, paid well to act as security and often as spies in a lot of cases, the name comes from the Pinkerton Detective Agency, or some iteration of that name, and named for Allan Pinkerton, a Scottish immigrant and kind of a badass, not necessarily a bad guy, but not too good either lol; and they were well known, the so-called "Pinkertons", back then, for their skill and ruthlessness. Unfortunately, in my opinion, they were also hired to bust unions, and back then unions were literally just trying to get a fair wage for fair work, but it cost the robber barons less to hire thugs to beat their own workers than to pay those workers their fair share. So I can see why a lot of people didn't like the Pinkertons. Speaking of Pinkertons, I also have to recommend "Deadwood", I think it would make for a great reaction, not to mention rare, I don't know of any other reactions to it and it's awesome.

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

“Deadwood” please. An HBO western series followed up with a movie. Stars ‘The Marshal’ from Mando/Boba. PS - Kyle Reese from ‘The Terminator’ is Johnny Ringo from ‘Tombstone’ is the SEAL team leader from ‘The Rock’ is the bit part guy from Mando when he teamed up with Ahsoka. PPS - I was hopeful that you’d recognize Pushkin/Salah/Gimli and you did!

Mark Daniels

Great reaction, Cassie. Good movie. But, a hard movie. Stop watching so many hard movies. I hate seeing you suffer and having your heart broken. You need to throw a comedy into the mix.

Rick Williams

Russel Crowe and Christian Bale raw doggin it in this western…

Wisdom from the mouth of the Canadian Babe (Cassie) "Switch hats!"

R Harper

I was underwhelmed by it, to be honest. As you said, great cast, but to me the film just fell kinda flat. I don't necessarily want to say "boring" but it just was a miss for me. Just kind of "meh". I WANTED to love the movie, but it didn't want to love me back.

Terdell Ferguson

@Dazan: It is ironic. Cassie is a more open-minded movie watcher than many of her patrons.

Stick Figure Studios

Gary Cooper. The Kevin Costner of his day.

Stick Figure Studios

I liked the new one more than most people did, but the original is still significantly better.

Stick Figure Studios

It's probably the most American genre of movies there is. It's basically our own mythology.

Stick Figure Studios

@Sean: You might be surprised at how remarkably similar they are and yet with a few striking differences.

Stick Figure Studios

Ah, no.

Rick Williams

I can get behind those recommendations. 👍🏻

John Casamassa

This is convincing me to watch the original. Because I love this remake.

sean smith

Never understood why this movie got zero recognition. It's such a good film with an amazing cast

nick bell

Yeah I know, I just really had to throw out the recommendation. I don't care if I ever see another reaction to the series, just as long as more people watch it lol

LuMarq

Agreed.

Stick Figure Studios

Major change. Big part of why I prefer the original.

Stick Figure Studios

Hard disagree there.

Stick Figure Studios

This remake is way better than the original.

Emma Ezzy

Russell Crowe plays prominently in that one too.

David Collins

Fantastic movie that’s vastly underrated.

Just Plain Bob

If you watch any other western, please watch Appaloosa. It's Awesome.

Zachary Carter

Unusual aggression from Cassie!

Dazman

I thought I had seen this movie before. I think now I was wrong. Never thought I'd see Cassie squeal "I'll kill you!" at a movie. That was great.

Ian from wine country

I love this movie and wow talk about being invested in a movie. This is also an exception for me as I have not seen the original so I am glad you are did the remake. Without giving anything away I believe the remake make a major change and I think I prefer it.

Andrew Roach

Westerns are not my favorite genre but there are many of them that I like. When they are good, they are very good. Many good titles have already been suggested. I would add Shane, Once Upon A Time in the West, and The Cowboys as my suggestions for future Westerns.

BRT

She's seen the newer True Gritt but the original and Rooster Cogburn would work too

David Freese

I agree with that. Following Cassie has opened my mind towards some films I wouldn't watch before.

David Freese

Thinking you need to add Lonesome Dove to your Westerns list. Just as good as it gets

Adam Zimmerman

I don't understand why it shouldn't be done. Alot of people, including myself, think the original is better. Cassie should definitely watch the original, just like she should watch the original True Gritt.

David Freese

She usually doesn't do long series runs for the channel. She might do it on her own though.

David Freese

Great reaction Cassie! Whoa! That ending! I think if you were there, you might have taken out Charlie yourself. 😳 I totally forgot Wash was in this! I always enjoy seeing him in any movie. I think the movie starring Leonardo Di Caprio you were thinking of is The Quick and the Dead. Another movie that’s well worth watching.

Robert da Spruce

If you liked 3:10 to Yuma, Elmore Leonard who wrote the short story also wrote the short story that became the series Justified starring Timothy Olyphant. I highly recommend the series. Not many reactions to it on YouTube, I think Cassie should watch it if she hasn't already even if she chooses to not react to it. I can't recommend it enough lol

LuMarq

The original (1957?) was better and Cassie would have enjoyed it more (certainly the ending).

Junior

These movies are just too sad for her. For all of us when we're with her.

Terry Yelmene

That movie was so good. Definitely a new classic.

Uncle Phoenix

The original is still worth seeing, but I find the remake to be the vastly superior movie.

Stick Figure Studios

The original is my favorite. John Wayne is hard to beat.

Rick Williams

A quick FYI for Cassie: The Pinkerton Detective Agency was an early, and the largest, private detective agency. They provided security services and performed many law enforcement duties in the 1800s, including acting as bodyguards for the President before the Secret Service. Their operatives were called Pinkertons. Regarding the basis for this movie, a short story written by the fantastic author Elmore Leonard, it’s worth noting that Mr. Leonard felt that the original movie was the superior adaptation, calling the remake “overdone.” I love his writing and would ordinarily defer to Mr. Leonard about adaptations of his work, but in this case I feel he was wrong. I liked both the original movie and the remake. But the best adaptation of his work, in his own opinion and in mine, was Quentin Tarantino’s adaptation of his novel “Rum Punch”, renamed “Jackie Brown” for the big screen.

Just Plain Bob

She should watch the original with The Duke! 👍🏻😃

'Pappy' Johnston

I also really want her to react to the movie that introduced Christian Bale to us as a child actor, Steven Spielberg's EMPIRE OF THE SUN.

Stick Figure Studios

According to her letterboxd list, she's already seen it.

Stick Figure Studios

Another great Western is True Grit. Hailee Steinfeld was amazing in it, even as a kid she was a great actor.

Andy Bodkin

Cassie, this has me wanting more movies where Christian Bale mesmerizes. The Prestige is amazing. Reign of Fire is also horribly underrated. First movie I ever saw Bale in. Plus it has Mathew 'alright, alright, alright' McConaughey, who is also mesmerizing. And it has dragons, which we know you love! But loved your reaction to 3:10. Might be my favorite one so far. BTW Ben Foster, who played Charlie deserved an award for this performance. He is amazing. Also, Dan's wife is played by Gretchen Mol who I'm always unable to take my eyes off when she is on screen, ever since I first saw her in Donnie Brasco. The casting for 3:10 is fantastic, across the board. Can't wait for Open Range. I <3 Button!

David Collins

What do you want me to do? Draw you a picture?

Stick Figure Studios

I watch all of her reactions for movies I've never seen, especially the ones I'm not interested in. And I've found out I enjoyed most of them.

David Collins

She'll be glad she revisited it when she sees the differences between the two.

Stick Figure Studios

Come back, Shane! ;-)

Stick Figure Studios

I don't know how to respond that. It's just that kind of movie, i.e. one that provokes strong emotional reactions (be they positive or negative). If someone didn't love it or hate it but was just sort of indifferent to it, then I guess more power to them.

Stick Figure Studios

Ironic, as the reason she started doing this is there were lots of movies she wasn't interested in and she decided to broaden her horizons and try things out.

Dazman

This movie is really a lot better with Cassie's company. I am a little puzzled by the insistent recommends for the original 1957 version of this story. I really don't think she wants to revisit this story, this version is fine enough. As far as '50's originals go, I would be willing to bet she watches the original Sabrina before she watches 3:10 to Yuma. And as for the Western Recommends, I think a lot of fine ones have been mentioned here, and I would like to re-recommend John Wayne in Red River (1948) and El Dorado (1966) and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) with James Stewart, and James Stewart is the star of Destry Rides Again (1939) and Firecreek (1968) with Henry Fonda. Speaking of the Fondas, as Byrun McCleroy, the Pinkerton Detective, who seemed not too bothered by the gunshot in the hold-up in the beginning of the movie, well he wasn't bothered until he got thrown off a cliff later, that was Peter Fonda, son of Henry, brother of Jane, and father of Bridget.

Mike LL

Bit strong!

Dazman

I swear 99.9% of the films she chooses are ones I've never seen or am not interested in. It's a conspiracy i tell you!

Rosario Cicero

I have not seen this one. Since it got so many votes I will be!

Steven Ashford

1883 is a terrific TV series about pioneers. Highly recommend it!

Odd Thomas

Wow when Cassie's mother-instinct kicks in I'm scared for whoever pisses her off. :) Yikes

Andrew Rose

Shane! I knew I was forgetting something!

Odd Thomas

OMG I forgot about Hostiles! What a brutal movie.

Tommy.J

Good call. Agree.

Tommy.J

High Noon, The Searchers, Shane, The Quick and the Dead, True Grit. High Plains Drifter.

resinmonkey .

High Noon also has Grace Kelly who she saw in Rear Window. But she hasn't seen Gary Cooper yet.

resinmonkey .

I remember him as The Stranger in 30 Days of Night. Talk about creepy af.

Robin Craft

If COWBOYS AND ALIENS is one of your favorites, I got a bunch of other better westerns for you to see.

Stick Figure Studios

He scares me.

Stick Figure Studios

I am pleased that you're staring to enjoy and appreciate the western genre though (this was basically my experience too; I used to hate westerns, but over time grew to appreciate them and now it's one of my favorite genres). Many of the best films ever made are westerns and there are so many more great ones to introduce you to: STAGECOACH, HIGH NOON, THE SEARCHERS, THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE, OUTLAW JOSEY WALES, RED RIVER, etc.

Stick Figure Studios

Open Range?

Stick Figure Studios

I still haven’t seen the original. But I want to check it out. I tend to pick apart new movies when I’ve seen the original so if I have an option I usually go in reverse order lol.

Jonny Kerr (JK)

I also prefer the original and it's ending. Nothing wrong with Van Heflin's acting in that film. Ford is definitely sexier and more charismatic than Heflin, but that's by design. That's his character. Dan is supposed to seem weaker and more pathetic by comparison. I think it works perfectly for the themes of the film.

Stick Figure Studios

She probably will like it, but I REALLY hope that she watches the original first in this case.

Stick Figure Studios

I liked both HOSTILES and NEWS OF THE WORLD.

Stick Figure Studios

She'd love HIGH NOON. Thats one of my top 3 favorite westerns.

Stick Figure Studios

Well said!

Allen Bond

Good point ... a young Natalie Wood as well

Bill Maurer

In many ways the 3:10 TO YUMA remake is a well-made film, but I ultimately don't care for it because of its cynicism, nihilism and misanthropy. I much prefer the original film with Glenn Ford (which, without giving anything away, has a very different and imo vastly superior ending). I think you would prefer it too.

Stick Figure Studios

Hope some day you guys watch the greatest western ever filmed: “The Searchers” with John Wayne.

Greg M

Actually saw this in the theater, it’s been a while so looking forward to the reaction; once I learned it was a remake I went back and watched the older version as well

JL_83

She should've done the OG first. But hey you take what you can.

David Freese

Glad to see you're warming up to westerns Cassie. I hope one day you might check out the classic "High Noon", I have a feeling you'll enjoy that one.

Jake McNulty

I think someone once said all good westerns are morality plays. I think this one fits that description. It takes a minute to digest but I really love this versions ending

Wes

Perhaps now to see the original? :) or if you have not seen it the original Westworld that started the series. Yul Brenner was a gem

GamerGal8684

He's great in everything! From Freaks and Geeks to Hell and High Water(Should have won an Oscar).

Tommy.J

In my memories I enjoyed this movie, a great cast! James Mangold... of course! 🤞for Indiana Jones 5 ^^

Grégory Gautier

Not to mention some of the best acting Wayne ever did.

Peter MacColeman

Supposedly back in the day in the UK they awarded Van Heflin the Top Male Action star for that role. Van Heflin also was an Academy Winner for acting. I think where we see Glenn Ford as the better actor is his style of acting is closer to what is seen today. It was so much more subtle than the Chill Willis, and Ward Bond era was used to, it translates so much better today. Incidentally, my personal favorite tidbit about Ford besides the insanity of his love life was him illegally raising 140 chickens inside Beverly Hills until the police shut him down.

Peter MacColeman

Another good western with Christian Bale: Hostiles. One of my favourite endings to any movie ever (no spoilers, obvs). News of the World with Tom Hanks is another good recent one.

Odd Thomas

Possibly my favourite western, followed by another Crowe western, The Quick and the Dead, Open Range and um, Cowboys and Aliens

Odd Thomas

3:10 to Yuma is a good Western. But Cassie I am pumped for you to watch "Open Ranch"! That should have been the number one pick for you. Because it is going to be your favorite! I'd make a bet on that! I've watched every Western Movie & TV Show ever made. Cassie you should have started with "Stagecoach"(1939) it is the OG. But I'm sure you'll get there some day. F--- you are going to love Open Ranch. Open Ranch was filmed in Alberta. From a fellow Canadian. Good day eh!

Tommy.J

Ben Foster is such an underappreciated actor.

Brent Petty

I just watch the OG because of this poll. Glen Ford sure had presence. He was such a great(Canadian)Actor! I think the remake works better because Bale & Crowe are same level actors. Glen Ford over shadows the other guy completely. I tell ya the OG makes want to watch Glen Ford movies.

Tommy.J

The Searchers Filmed in Monument Valley (Arizona/Utah)

Bill Maurer

Cassie, You would have loved the original. The remake redid the ending for sake of being edgy in my opinion. Enjoy Open Range!

Peter MacColeman

Same here. It was dicey at first but now she's got the vibe

nick bell

Well...I have errands to run...OR...I could sit here and watch Cassie watch this movie. I have popcorn. Better get a bowl.

Anthony Perez

Looking forward to watching your reaction Cassie!

Robert da Spruce

Agreed! I'm loving that she's loving westerns!

Ian Hunter (NewbieInOttawa)

A prime example of a remake done right! 👍

Zane From Canada

You’re gonna love the new Magnificent 7 with Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawk, and Denzel when you get to it someday. Awesome western. Funny but brutal. Never seen this. Can’t wait to watch.

Jonny Kerr (JK)

I'm so happy you're turning into a western fan. So many great ones still to watch.

nick bell
