News & Reviews

Former soldier now farmer, Dan Evans (Christian Bale), joins a posse to escort the infamous stage coach robber, Ben Wade (Russell Crowe), to the chain gang. But the journey is fraught with challenges. The posse must evade Wade’s crew and overcome obstacles placed in their path. And of course, Wade is not the type to go without a fight. A bandit with an eclectic killing code of honor, Wade demonstrates that teasing him or talking about his momma with a fork or cliff nearby is a bad idea.

A revamped version of the 1957 original, the Western is directed by James Mangold (Walk the Line). In its current iteration, 3:10 to Yuma features strong performances by Crowe and Bale and has moments of quirky humor and genuine camaraderie  (R. Prioleau, MOSAEC)

Synopsis

In Arizona in the late 1800's, infamous outlaw Ben Wade (Crowe) and his vicious gang of thieves and murderers have plagued the Southern Railroad. When Wade is captured, Civil War veteran Dan Evans (Bale), struggling to survive on his drought-plagued ranch, volunteers to deliver him alive to the "3:10 to Yuma", a train that will take the killer to trial. On the trail, Evans and Wade, each from very different worlds, begin to earn each other’s respect. But with Wade’s outfit on their trail – and dangers at every turn – the mission soon becomes a violent, impossible journey toward each man's destiny (Studio).

News & Reviews

An FBI investigative unit coerces its way on to the scene of a crime perpetrated against US citizens working in Saudi Arabia. Muslim extremists attacked an American housing compound, killing dozens including two G-men. But dead men tell tales and this crime scene unit is determined to sift through the evidence and avenge their fallen comrades. (R. Prioleau, MOSAEC)

Synopsis

Director Peter Berg, who blisteringly reinterpreted the high-school sports drama with the celebrated Friday Night Lights, producer Michael Mann (Heat, The Insider, The Aviator, Miami Vice), and producer Scott Stuber (You, Me and Dupree, The Break-Up) join Oscar® winner Jamie Foxx in a timely thriller about the explosive clash that happens when Middle East meets West: The Kingdom.

Foxx stars as whip-smart FBI Special Agent Ronald Fleury, who has just received the assignment of his career: assemble an elite team (played by Jennifer Garner, Oscar® winner Chris Cooper and Jason Bateman) and go to Riyadh to hunt down and capture the terrorist mastermind behind a deadly attack on Americans working in Saudi Arabia. The feds have only one week to infiltrate and cripple a cell bent on jihad to western society (Studio).
