Major spoilers, don't read if you haven't seen the movie.
I watched 3:10 to Yuma Sunday night and I was absolutely confounded by the ending of the movie - it made absolutely no sense.
Wade is trying to talk Evans into letting him go, but he doesn't tell his gang to storm the building. And rather than just running away at any one of 100 opportunities, Wade follows Evans even with all the bullets flying. And then lastly he allows himself to be put on the train and then kills his gang when one of them shoots Evans. The movie makes no secret that he's going to escape the train, but the stuff leading up to that makes no sense.
Even if you explain it by saying Wade developed sympathy for Evans and his situation and wanted to help him out, that doesn't explain him killing his gang and the movie never shows enough of a friendship developing to explain it as a revenge killing.
I'm not saying the movie need a neat and tidy Hollywood ending, it just needed to make sense.

he sympathized with evans you can tell when they are talking about their sons. the son even said that he knew wade has some good in him. the run to the train is kind of an "act" so his sons will think of him as a hero. wade didn't want evans to die so he got mad and killed his gang. pretty much all there was to it.

MADE perfect sense. he will escape with the horse he called. they gave hints of that. his gang had to die.

the ending confused me too...but a friend of mine told me that the director made it open to interpretation...so it's really whatever you think about it...
