Totally Incomprehensible Without the Pretense

Rating: 4/10 (2 March 2008)

Most incomprehensible films are, at least, pretentious. You can't even say that about this rambling, never ending, cinematic waste of time.
The characters are indistinguishable. Without the use of captions (thanks to home viewing), it would be impossible to know who was who, and even then, it's never quite clear. There is almost no character development, except in the case of Bob Ford. Why is Jessee tracking the members of his gang? Who knows? We know nothing about him.
The last fifteen minutes are pretty good. Bob Ford is far more interesting than Jessee, and the end of the movie leaves you wishing the movie were about him, not Jesse.
A total mess. One can only hope it won't kill Westerns (again). Forget it.
