This is by far one of the best indie films I've seen in a very long time. It's a great combination of good acting, balancing humor and suspense while leveraging a great script that is impossible to predict.

Indie films usually struggle with budget and acting, so if you can strip the need for budget and get some quality actors to come on board you're gonna have a shot at a winner...this is one of those times.

Joceline Donahue (from The House of the Devil) and Jim Cummings hit the ball out of the park with their acting in this. Also, even being in just one remote setting primarily, the film never gets boring and the last third is super engaging. Great effort guys!!! Kudos to all involved! 8.2/10.

Nice interesting take on the heist take genre. Lots of inspiration from obviously Quintin, spaghetti westerns especially The Good the Bad and the Ugly. The story unfolds in this wild paranoid situation that can blow up at any moment. You will sit on the edge of the seat during this one.

This film is also set in what looked to me the 60s, so you get a great bit of Americana here and who doesn't love that? The small town in the middle of know where where the gas truck is late an the gas station is out of gas sets up the plot for the entire movie, which is great story telling device. Very possible scenario out west especially in the 60s. I also, love that everyone has a gun on them, which isn't that out of the ordinary in a small American town...though I am only speaking from a current modern perspective of living is small town USA.

Some of the negatives, is sort of basic Hollywood trope on how guns work, which is rather silly, but at least in this movie the unrealistic gun battle, is very important to set up the morality of the characters.

We all believe we are good people, but when the opportunity is there to get away with a crime, this is what really sets apart from the good the bad and the ugly.

No in depth review.

If you like a snappy crime thriller, see this movie.

It's like Reservoir Dogs, mostly in that you wish there were more of it.

Like RD, it's so tasty, yet so brief, that you're left longing for more footage.

Oh no. I'm only at half my character count.

Remember Mr. Blonde? What's up with him? Give us a few more minutes with Mr. Blonde. Oh wait--he's dead?

What happened to Mr. Blue?

Why can't I have more of these guys?

That's what Yuma is like.

Dismiss any review that calls it slow.

The setup is meticulous and the payoff is brutal.

As the credits roll, for once, in an ocean of overlong movies, you'll be wishing Yuma had been bloated.

It isn't. It's trimmed so lean that you'll almost feel like you didn't get a full serving.

That's a compliment.

I gave the film 8/10 instead of 10/10. I deducted 2 points because I have a problem with the bathroom arrangement.

Send people out and around to the motel? What? Does Yelp not exist in 1974?
