Author Topic: The Assassination of Jesse James (2007) Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 02-08-2008 06:55 PM                        ...By the Coward Robert Ford The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford While this movie was not what I expected, it was a good film. It is an 'arthouse' picture for sure. If you are looking for a film with a lot of 'action' or you want to see it thinking it's a typical Western - it's not. There is a lot of dialogue, and massive narration. The film has it's own feel to it, but it was not my type of movie. I really disliked Casey Affleck's character in this film. I will say that the film got me to looking up the story of Jesse James. Casey Affleck is a dead ringer for the real Robert Ford. Brad Pitt did a great job of portaying the outlaw, but at times I think he overdid the paranoia part of it. It kinded reminded me of his character in '12 Monkeys' (at times). Anyways - 3 of out 5 stars for me. it just wasn't my cup of tea.  |  IP: Logged Joe Tommassello Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 547 From: Coatesville, PA, USA Registered: Jan 2008 posted 05-06-2008 12:38 PM                  Should win a Nobel prize for medicine for curing insomnia.  |  IP: Logged
