Review of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) by Thegodfatherson — 26 Oct 2013
Moseying along for 160 minutes, this revisionist western by writer-director Andrew Dominik makes a wan attempt to present the Jesse James legend as the dawn of celebrity culture in America. This film is far too long but the central relationship of James and Ford is fascinating.
...it's got a title that perfectly matches its subject matter: They're both too long by half.
