The Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

This film is almost as long as it’s title! Fact based story about the last days of Jesse James & the end of the “Wild West”…very ponderous, it’s in no rush at all to get to the inevitable & don’t expect any big shoot-out’s. Very much a character piece about how myth’s are created & the reality of the real people behind them. I thought it was good & Brad Pitt plays Jesse James really well, hides a lot of his usual tics & business that he usually pulls out & you almost forget it’s Brad Pitt. Certainly no Unforgiven, but not too shabby.
