A Truly Beautiful Film

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2008)

This movie really caught me by surprise; I had no idea what to expect, it was one of my few blind buys on Blu-ray. It was amazing, I feel it was the 2nd best movie of 2007, only behind No Country For Old Men (I'm surprised it did not get Best Picture and Best Actor (for Pitt) nominations). The film was overall excellent: amazing cinematography (color contrast and landscapes), superb acting (I felt Pitt and Affleck were actually James and Ford, Rockwell was good too), story was calm and intense at the same time; the only problem I can see was that the pacing was a little slow, but it never lost my attention; I never really knew what was coming next.
Overall a fantastic film; cannot wait to see what Dominik does next (rumor has it it is a work of Cormac McCarthy... AWESOME!)! The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford 10/10
