An underrated film that got overlooked at the Oscars.

Rating: Null/10 (15 April 2008)

I don't' know why this film was not even considered for something other than supporting actor (which Casey should of taken home) and best cinematography. This film was made in the exact same style as There will be blood and was almost as intense as No Country. To some Brad Pitt in the lead role is a turn-off because of his heartthrob image but he brings in a great but yet eerie performance of Jesse James which is portrayed perfectly and not one bit of fiction in his character. The idea of the film was to get into the mind game between Robert Ford and Jesse James and they pull it off perfectly. Some may agree that is was too slow a movie but if you give it time, let the action scenes come when they are needed as oppose to every other scene. My advice is to give this movie a shot, appreciate the music and camera work and enjoy
