When the actors become the characters...

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2013)

I wasn't expecting much in the way of the entertainment factor when going into this film, considering its run time, however the performances of all the actors, namely Pitt, Affleck and Rockwell, assure that the pacing can be viewed as relevant to the character development.
When we are first introduced to infamous American outlaw Jesse James it is brought to us in an intimate setting and full understanding of the character. The poetical narration adds to the biographical style the movie feels like.
Put in a beautiful, yet unsettling score, some beautiful uses of cinematography and you have yourself a brilliant film.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford= 9.4
