3:10 TO YUMA, opens. Directed by James Mangold, written by Halsted Welles, Michael Brandt and Derek Haas, based on both the 1957 classic directed by Delmer Daves and Elmore Leonard's 1954 short story. Serviceable revisionist remake with Christian Bale as a dirt poor, gimpy-legged rancher who volunteers to escort Russell Crowe's smug, just apprehended outlaw to prison on the titular train. Ben Foster is a standout as as a scurvy gang member determined to spring his boss.
