I loved it but I knew I would. The acting is great, not surprising. Crowe and Bale are just the best. There is very little swearing. Lots of people are killed but by today's standards it's not graffic. Lionsgate has money trouble so it's not getting the promotion it deserves. I hope people go to see it.

From where I sit, there have been more promotions on this movie than I've seen in the last six months. Even Harry Potter's latest movie didn't have the exposure I've seen on 3:10. So I imagine a lot of people will go to see it. From the commercials, it looks pretty good!

!!Can you imagine seeing what a remake of: The Great Escape would look like? I shudder the thought.

Shiver, shudder, cringe, cringe, cringe !!! I fully agree with that statement. Somebody would probably try to get Brad Pitt to star.

I have to agree with erthomp - the technical advances in making movies may have improved, but the talent just isn't there anymore for the most part . Remakes are just a lazy Hollywood producer's way of getting something out there for the consumers . There are really very few original thoughts to be found .

It seems as if there are very few movie producers that have an original thought in their heads anymore . Everytime we turn around, someone is scheduling a remake of some well-regarded film or box-office hit. In most cases, the result is less than the original, even with today's technology. As an example, look at the Airport movies - the first one was quite well done, but the succeeding sequels became less and less classy and more tedious the more removed from the original in time. Of course, these are not technically remakes, but the idea is the same.
