Excellent movie, but misleading title?

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2016)

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Excellent acting and cinematography. My only complaint is: why Robert Ford was labeled a coward? Jesse came off as more of a coward to me. He shot more people in the back of the head and beats on a teenager, so why couldn't the title have been: The Assassination of the Cowardly Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford? Just wondering? Hasn't anyone else thought this. None of Jesse's victims actually saw the shot coming, even though they probably knew it was about to happen. That is why they were afraid when he showed up at their home. But, Jesse felt it was about to happen and portrayed in the movie saw that it was about to happen. Bob Ford did actually own the action that he took. Other than that, I really do enjoy the movie. It would be on my list to watch over and over again. The lack of a normal shoot em up western movie is made up for by the cinematography, acting and the interaction of the characters.
