Brad Pitt as an Actor

Rating: 10/10 (27 March 2008)

First off, I have to say that this is an incredible story, made into an incredible movie, filled with a credible cast. Personally I have never been disappointed by anything I have seen with Brad Pitt. He is a phenomenal actor, and is the perfect person for an intensely bipolar cowboy. Casey Affleck really supported as the Coward, and I am amazed to this day by his performance. Having not heard of him before I was slightly concerned, but in the end he pulled it out. Enough with the actors, the film itself is beautifully shot, masterfully scripted, and well directed. It doesn't use dramatic music to heighten a scene's intensity, yet you can't help but feel the tension. The train scene with the light coming through the trees is incredibly brilliant. So far this is the best film I have had the pleasure of viewing. I look forward to more like it.
