What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Zane Henry  Bale and Crowe at their wild, wild best. | 15 |  |
| Die Burger Laetitia Pople Hardgebak en erg bloedig. | 15 | |
| Cape Times Kenneth Turan Usual suspects come out with guns blazing. | 15 | |
| iAfrica.com Nils van der Linden 3:10 To Yuma really isn't as clever or as original as it thinks it is. | 10 |  |
| The Citizen Bruce Dennill This is a tremendously well-made film, with enough action to please those who don't like to put in extra effort, and enough subtext to satisfy those who do. | 16 | |
| Sunday Times Barry Ronge | 15 | |
| 24.com Alistair Fairweather Is it worth watching? Undoubtedly. But will it leave you wanting more? Probably. | 10 | |
| BBC Stella Papamichael The performances are electric. | 15 | |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Restores the wounded heart of the Western and rescues it from the morass of pointless violence. | 20 | |
| eye Weekly Kieran Grant Lean dialogue, dark comic relief, blurred morality, Mangold's feel for subtle drama and a fine support cast see the operation through to a satisfying, if conventionally staged, resolution. | 10 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli Watching a movie like this, I can't help but wish that the Western would come back into favor again. We can use more productions like this. | 15 | |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers Maybe this redo didn’t need so many bells and whistles, but Mangold brings it home. | 15 | |
