"It is part of the richness of 3:10 to Yuma that this is a classical piece of storytelling with themes and characters that can be found in the very earliest Westerns." – Geoffrey Macnab, Sight & Sound

"Director James Mangold amps up the blood and thunder without sacrificing the moral complexity of Elmore Leonard's original short story." – Kelly Vance, East Bay Express
