Not a typical 'western' September 11, 2008
M. Hutchison (Victoria, British Columbia Canada)
As others have mentioned here, this isn't a typical shoot 'em up - this is a story and not an action film. I especially liked how the characters were portrayed in the film and how well the actors gave that portrayal. br /One thing that especially struck me is the cinematography - the great quality of it reminded me of Open Range's cinematography, just because the quality is so excellent. The sequence with the train robbery and in particular how the train's headlight plays across and thru the trees is beautiful, as are other parts.

The movie starts out VERY slow and is boring off the start, but gets better as it goes on. Okay movie, nothing special.

this is more than just a movie about the killing of Jesse James.the br /story is about the event leading up to the title and the aftermath.it's br /a well done movie with great performances from Brad Pitt as James,Sam br /Rockwell as Charlie Ford,and Casey Affleck as Robert Ford.the br /supporting performances are also very good.this is not an action br /film,but a deliberately paced character study.the film is well written br /and has some very good dialogue.it also has a voice over br /narration,which i thought worked well with this movie.it does tend a br /bit toward slowness,but only for brief moments and only br /occasionally,and is never boring.the story and characters are quite br /compelling.i found myself quite engrossed in the story and the br /characters.for me,The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert br /Ford is a 4.5/5

If you love cinema and are open minded enough... if you are thrilled by film-makers pushing the bounderies a little more... if you are in awe of gorgeous cinematography (and I'm not simply talking of pretty pictures but exploring composition and lighting)... if you do not need constant thrills in order to keep your interest... and if you are always searching for a fresh and original vision... then this film is for you! NOTE: This is NOT a typical western so if you dislike the genre, you should still consider it. br /Pay special attention to the night time train robbery sequence. It is one of the most outstanding sequences in recent cinema.
I love this movie March 3, 2008

Great Movie! Those two words best describe this movie...I found that when I was watching this I was glued to the tv and felt an overall good feeling when the movie was over.So good that right after watching this film I had to go on the net and do some research on the story..I even went on to order the book which I am currently enjoying.Now when I start researching a movie, reading the book and so on that tells it must have been great. br / br / It bothers me that so many people I have talked to found the movie slow and boring...This movie is simply not about gun slinging, horse racing shoot everyone up typical Western,it's simply a good story.It's sad people need explosions and fast paced scenes to enjoy a show nowadays.So to anyone who enjoys a great story then this is the movie to watch...trust me.
