A Tale Between Jesse James and Robert Ford!

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2012)

2007 has been a very good year for very good Western films. There was No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, and now this film. The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford is a great film that tells a story of friendship and rivalry between Robert Ford and Jesse James. Robert glorifies Jesse and finds him as his idol even though James is clearly not portrayed as an idol.
The acting is very good. Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck steals the show with their mesmerizing performance. However, it is not often I'll say that another actor is better than Brad Pitt. But in this film, Casey Affleck is better than Brad Pitt and deserves that Academy Award nomination.
Overall, this is a fun movie to watch. Everything from the score to the acting to the art direction is just worth it. I rate this film 9/10.
