3:10 to Yuma (2007): review: 6/10

A poor, one-legged farmer is hired, among others, to escort a gangster to a prison train: they have some difficulties because of the gangster's extraordinary powers and the persistence of his gang.

Everyone is grumpy except for Russell Crowe who tries to be friendly to the farmer and his son.

The film is nicely shot but goes on and on, becoming enervated, lacking the wit needed to lift it.

L.A. Confidential (1997): review- 8/10

Intelligent and well acted noir: the rites of passage of an ambitious sergeant, combatting corruption within the LAPD in the 50s.
