For the thirtieth film of the month we have 3:10 To Yuma (1957)

First off, we have the story which has broke small-time rancher Dan Evans is hired by the stagecoach line to put big-time captured outlaw leader Ben Wade on the 3:10 train to Yuma but Wade's gang tries to free him. I thought the story was very entertaining and thrilling because of how different it was to other Westerns.

Next, we have the characters which overall, I thought were fantastic both in terms of the acting with the characters they played and the chemistry between the two main leads gave life to the story. 

As for the film's visuals I thought it was one of the best parts of the film with some elegant cinematography with the camera movement as well as the use of lighting and shadows that was created with care and precision. Now we have the action which I thought was very entertaining when things did kick off both in the gun-fighting but also with the confrontations between the main characters through words. Moving onto the tone of the film which I loved as the suspense of the situation and slowness gave the film more thrills while still keeping the essence of the Western genre. I thought the soundtrack of the film was great adding to the tension throughout the film.

Overall, I thought this film was fantastic older Western that shows how good they can be with a thrilling story and two main leads with chemistry that makes them bounce off each other with their dialogue. Finally there was the cinematography, tone and soundtrack which came to together to add to the already entertaining film. 

I give 3:10 To Yuma (1957) a score of 9/10
