Pros: great acting, seemed pretty realistic Cons: too much narration, got really boring towards the end, far too long
Now that Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck have matured past the weaker roles of their early career, you can expect them to put in decent to great acting performances each time out of the gate. Now with The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert ...
Pros: Very well made character study Cons: Not a single big shoot-out
My dad is a big fan of Westerns, so my mom bought him The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford as a gift. He ended up not liking the movie very much, so it was given to me. Their reason for not liking it was that they thought it ...
Pros: Somber telling of the killing of a legendary bandit Cons: You have to know your history to really enjoy it
The film ranks right up there with some of the best lsquo;failures rsquo; about the mythic American West, because it wallows in the actual method of myth creation, that of storytelling. The Voice Over on the sound track consistently reminds the ...
Pros: fascinating, well written, well acted, well directed Cons: slow, strangely quiet for a movie about an outlaw
You can tell that this film was based on a book. At times, its ubiquitous narration goes past the PBS inserts of Seabiscuit and approaches a Ken Burns documentary. Still, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is a remarkable film. ...
I’d usually start out a movie review wondering what exactly to say about the plot without giving too much away. But since this is a true story and the spoiler is in the title: “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert ...
Pros: excellent performances, especially by Affleck Cons: long and mostly boring
Oscar month is over now, and while it was fun trying to watch as many of the nominees as I could before the ceremony, it's kind of a relief to have it over with because it certainly seems like I've been watching a lot of depressing movies lately. I'm ...
Outlaw Jesse James is famous for being part of the James gang along with his older brother Frank and the Younger brothers in robbing banks, stagecoaches, and such that often included murder. Despite the infamy James and his gang had, they were ...

Pros: Extremely Well Made By All Accounts, Has A Timeless Message Cons: Many Will Find It Overlong And Slow
I was first interested in "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" (Let's call it "Assassination" for short) since I saw the first teaser trailer over a year ago in some random summer 2006 movie... Then the movie was ...
Pros: Minimalist score; extended denouement Cons: It's pretty much all true
I do not for the life of me know why "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" is considered a Western because Jesse James and Robert Ford themselves were not from the West, they were from Missouri. Missouri may have constituted ...
Pros: Just about everything including the screenplay, acting, cinematography, costuming, etc. Cons: Might be too long for some if they do not appreciate literary and artistic efforts
Waxing poetic about a movie is not something I can do because I am not a poet and rarely read poems. Yet, starting in the first five minutes, the only thought that kept coming to mind was that the combination of narration, camera angles, settings, ...
Pros: All performances, gorgeous cinematography, interesting and fascinating look at Jesse James Cons: Might be a little slow for some audience members

Pros: Lengthy, slow paced, little action Cons: Lengthy, slow paced, little action
Public reaction to the film “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” - like the character of Jesse James – will be bipolar. PLOT SUMMARY: Bob Ford joins James gang, kills Jesse ARTISTIC MERIT: those ...
Pros: Brad Pitt's performance Cons: The film's logic and its belief system make you wanna tear your hair out.
In my life, I've never seen a film with such backwards logic. Why do I say that about "The Assassination Of Jesse James: By The Coward Robert Ford?" For starters let's take a look at the film's last act; specifically, the portion of the film that ...
Pros: a few solid moments; a launching point for Casey Affleck's career Cons: an hour too long; bad script; story lines that go nowhere; shouldn't have been made
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford would make a great new-Western drama, if only it clocked in at one hour and 45 minutes. Instead, it is a long 2:38 (about 2:33 without credits). The original cut was 4 hours long. I can't ...
