like or dislike?

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2007)

This movie is a like-or-dislike movie.
If you like a deep movie that really penetrates into the feelings of the character you will love it. But, if you are looking for a typical western bang-bang movie, you are in the wrong movie theater.
It basically shows the relationship between a sort of Robin Hood, Jesse James, lived by Brad Pitt in a very good performance, and a teenager obsessed about him, Robert Ford, lived by Casey Affleck in a performance of a lifetime. As the title says, it will turn out in Jesse James' assassination by Robert Ford.
Although I dislike westerns, this one was, I believe, very-well directed and with an unbelievable score. This movie would not have worked with a poor acting. And, luckily, the acting of all members was rather surprising.
Afterall, this movie is aimed for the Oscar, it is not meant to be a blockbuster, and I think it will have quite a number of nominations.
