Last night, my husband and I decided to go see "3:10 to Yuma," an R-rated western starring Russell Crowe. The movie was shown at our partially renovated historic theater downtown. What this theater lacks in amenities, it makes up for with $2.00 per person ticket prices. Most of the films shown here are family oriented, but this is definitely not one of them.
The movie centers on a beleagured, war-injured, rancher who finds himself escorting captured bad guy Ben Wade (Crowe) to meet a train to Yuma prison, where he is to be hanged for too-many-to-count robberies and murders.
The movie's "R" rating is mainly for graphic violence, although there is also sporatic language in it, and one scene with partial nudity. This is a guy movie...not much romance. A couple of women have minor speaking roles - one is the sweet and docile wife of the rancher, the other is a shady lady saloon girl. But mostly the movie focuses on Indian ambushes, and gang violence.
