3:10 to Yuma

It's one of the more successful remakes since the original starring Van Heflin and Glenn Ford seems dated. However it suffers immensely by updating the story. First of all, having the Dan Evans character an artificial leg seems far fetched, specially in those time the technology was that advanced that we see Christian Bale walking around normal and jumping roofs. Secondly the empathy that Ben Wade (Russel Crowe) has at the end for Dan Evans feels false and compromises what a good film it could have been. Russel Crowe and Christian Bale are fine as the leads.
