The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Whew! Well if you are not tired by the time you get done saying it you will be by the time you get done watching it (2.5hrs). However, a good tired. For the better part of the movie it felt like the village (the colors music and such), but it morphs into its own skin. Really excellent shots and views. Visually the movie is pretty nice to look at. Sam Rockwell is here again, owning.Casey Affleck showing up his brother again. And some guy named Brad Pitt plays Jesse James. Jesse made me nervous the whole film like he was about to go totally nuts. And he kinda was, just not the way I expected. Everyone hates on ole Bobby Ford for killing him, but I'm not sure why. He (Jesse) wasn't all that pleasant to begin with. For me this is a There Will Be Blood type of movie. Some will love it, and others just hate it. There are parts of narration breaking up different sequences in the movie and it gives it a feeling like you are reading it.(which I liked). A bit of action, but mostly drama and heavy story. I liked that it made me pay attention and kind of be involved. Much better movie than it got press for. Not for everyone so be warned.
