Good but slow and unfocused

Rating: 7/10 (10 November 2016)

The story of notorious outlaw Jesse James, concentrating on the last seven months of his life. Looks at how he is befriended by Robert Ford and how this will lead to his death.
Good acting and decent script but very slow moving, resulting in a 2 hr 40 min movie. Could have been an hour shorter and still achieved the same result. The story meandered and digressed a lot in the middle section, spending much time on subplots which didn't have much bearing on the main story.
Thought that the story of Robert Ford's post-assassination life could have been expanded more, though. The little post-assassination story that was shown, saved the movie, I feel.
