"The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford"


Brad Pitt produces and stars in this lengthy, unflattering look at Jesse James and the man who killed him. Locations and wardrobe look authentic. The sepia-toned look is affecting and well-suited to the material. But I had the feeling that some additional editing was needed. And the use of a narrator here speaks volumes about the director's confidence in the audience's ability to understand and follow the screenplay. I recommend a rental but suspect that some will be put off by the glacial pace and the nagging feeling that this might be an episode from the History Channel.

I'm going to have to give this movie a look just because a good portion of it was filmed right here in my home city and apparently the video looks just fantastic in HD

Tony, you will be pleased to see that, once again, Hollywood has made Canada look like Missouri.

Re: "The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford"


Yes and of course we still live in the old west town site just like in the movie
The town site that was used is called "Fort Edmonton park" and is located in our river valley not far from where I live. It really looks authentic. The City has really put alot of effort into continuously adding new buildings from the 1700's-early 1900's
