RE: "3:10 To Yuma": Okay cowboy, not CLASSIC cowboy....

From a visual standpoint this wasn't exactly a John Ford picture, but at least the movie was technically well-done. It's the ending that really didn't work for me. It's not as if the characters weren't carefully drawn or developed in a failed script or that the acting was substandard (it certainly wasn't) and Bale and Crowe weren't able to properly convey their characters to the viewer. It's just that the actions in the final 30 minutes defied all known patterns of human behavior - rational or otherwise. Not that I didn't have a lot of problems with some of the peculiar actions, reactions, and motivations in the first hour and a half. But once they got to that hotel room it was as if they entered some strange parallel universe of the human psyche. It was a totally unconvincing resolution to an average Western.
