The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford delves into the private life and public exploits of America's most notorious outlaw. As the charismatic and unpredictable Jesse James (Brad Pitt) plans his next great robbery, he wages war on his enemies, who are trying to collect the reward money – and the glory – riding on his capture. But the greatest threat to his life may ultimately come from those he trusts the most.
Holy Cow - this movie was so freaking long! I felt like WW and I were watching it for seven years. I fell asleep 3 different times for twenty minutes each and was still able to totally follow the movie. Even with my current ranting though, the movie was not bad. It was simply waaaaaaay too long and they could have easily edited up to an hour off of this 2 hour and 45 minute bad boy. All of the performances were great and the scenes of actual tension were awesome. The dead space in between was beyond nap worthy though and I ended up taking full advantage of that.
I would recommend people checking this movie out . . . . as long as they have seven years of their life to spare while watching it.
