The Assassination of Jesse James

2 STARS

I thought this was an interesting film. There were some wonderful moments, but the overall pace of the movie was too slow. It is certainly one I wouldn't want to watch more than once.

Brad Pitt did a reasonable job, though Casey Affleck was quite good. The cinematography was beautiful, but again, it was slow.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is like a mix between A New World and Hollywoodland. It was better than A New World, but worse than Hollywoodland.

P.S. This movie is rated "R" - we watched it on our ClearPlay DVD player

I agree with Will 100%. I thought there were some clever ideas and that it was a great story to portray, but it moved TOO slowly. I wouldn't mind seeing another's take on the Jesse James/Robert Ford story in the future.
