You would think a movie about Jesse James would be full of action, drama, suspense, violence. Think again. This movie offers very little to Western fans. There are moments where some stuff explodes, but somehow this movie removes the fun from these scenes - instead of "Kablooeey!!", you get "boom, fizzle, whimper". Most of the movie revolves around watching Casey Afleck's character Robert Ford stare blankly out of a dirty window. Unless you have endless patience and an extreme thirst for subdued, whispering dialogue skip this movie. Maybe I need to watch it again? Meh, too long and boring. I gotta say, the cinematography is great, the film is artfully captured.
