The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

This isn't the type of movie that appeals to the vast majority of the movie-going public in that it is actually interesting, and does not contain any shots of people getting hit in the nuts with Nerf bats. I typically judge... Full review

I LOVE this movie! I can see though how some would not...it is a long movie and its kind-of documentary-ish. But Its SOOOO GOOD! Casey Affleck was very triumph of an actor in this one! Same with Brad Pitt... Full review

I went in to this w/o reading any reviews and expected a good old fashioned western detailing the excitement of Jesse James life. This movie shows only his last robbery. It is essentially a very in depth look at the confused... Full review

I think this crappola of a movie is actually about two weeks long, nobody can just stand to make it to the end. The acting is okay (affleck plays a convincable coward) but there is no story, there is no plot,... Full review

Dammit this is supposed to be about Jesse James, it was way more like a drama, hardly any action at all. I hope this doesn't win any awards, then every filmmaker will try to turn an action flick into a slow-paced... Full review

Allie´s abrupt introduction drastically alters the course of the story. Neither Virgil Cole nor Everett Hitch will take their place in the Western pantheon of great characters, but both are quite pleasant companions for a few hours. ... Full Review

If Dominik's intent was to further the legend of Jesse James then he has certainly succeeded. The problem with the film though is that it's more fictional than real. Roger Deaken's cinematography depicts the Wild West in harsh tones. ... Full Review

Enhanced by superb production design, the spell of Jesse James lingers. In every technical detail (save the dialogue mix), the film is outstanding, with stunning cinematography and production design. ... Full Review
