If I was eve faced with a dangerous, demoralizing task with a minuscule probability of success … and I needed to complete that task to save the future of my family and country … and I could pick one movie character to help me through the ordeal … it would be the Christian Bale character in “3:10 to Yuma.”
That combination of grit, determination, and simple humility could accomplish more than a dozen Jedi Masters.

Best line ever: Even bad guys love their Mommas.
I was so impressed by that line I looked up who wrote the story. It was Elmore Leonard, although he didn’t write that line. It only appears in the remake.
3:10 To Yuma was the first story by Elmore Leonard I ever read. I ended up reading pretty much everything he wrote. After that it was hard to read anybody else. Nobody brings you into the flow of a story like Elmore Leonard.
