Review of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) by Benjamin N — 04 Dec 2011

Fuck yes, like unforgiven, this movie gives us something we've never seen before in the western.

Only this time it's the accute focus on historical accuracy...two of the leads give stellar performances (affleck is going to be a great actor...where his brother sucked it up (basically everywhere) he will succeed)...beautiful camerawork and effects, great narration as well as a great score...one of the best westerns i've ever seen...surprisingly entertaining for it's length and subect matter...most will find this movie tedious but fuck them.
