Too Long of a Title, Suffice to say: He Died

Rating: 5/10 (26 February 2013)

Wow, what a spoiler the title of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford was. I'm not into westerns, but strangely, when I do watch one, I generally like them. This one I didalbeit it was rather slow, VERY long and already gave away the ending in the title. Yeah, I'm assuming they assumed everyone and their great-great-great-grandparents knew the story, but it's untrue – the fact we all knew what happened. I didn't. In either case, it was entertaining, but not something I ever want to sit through again. Most notable was the performance of Casey Affleck even though Brad was still good, and the score and cinematography. Not my favorite western, not even in the top 5this, coming from someone who's seen maybe a dozen westerns in my life, so it's somewhere in the bottom 10 (of 12)but it's still worth a (as in one) viewing.
