A masterpiece!!!

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2007)

Sometimes American movie-making reminds us why they are the biggest and most important entertainment industry in the world. This happens when we see movies such as "Assassination...", which is, ironically, the kind of movie that has become more and more rare to be made. Maybe because it's poetic, long, based on details rather than on blockbuster action. The acting (especially Affleck, who saves the family name)and the whole technical part (costume design, art direction, cinematography and score REALLY seem part of a coherent whole), all led by this practically unknown genius-to-be Andrew Dominik build a masterpiece that won't be loved by most people (and the foreign press seems to confirm this). But, hey, how many real masterpieces were loved by the time of their release?
