| Director Les Mayfield (BLUE STREAK) attempts to revamp the Western genre with yet another telling of the Jesse James story. This time around, James (Colin Farrell), older brother Frank (Gabriel Macht), and companion Cole Younger (Scott Caan) have returned from the frontlines of the Civil War. Their peaceful Missouri existence is crudely shattered by the arrival of Thaddeus Rains (Harris Yulin), a railroad tycoon who demands that they give up their land for the railroad's benefit. When the boys refuse to cooperate, Rains turns Allan Pinkerton (Timothy Dalton) on them, resulting in a family tragedy that sparks a rebellion. It isn't long before Jessie, Frank, and Cole are off and running, robbing banks throughout the state in order to cut off the railroad's funding, and using their stolen money to feed the poor. In the meantime, Jessie remains intimate with his one true love, Zee Mimms (Ali Larter), hoping for an end to the madness that surrounds him. Mayfield's film balances comedy and action in equal meas... |

(02/01/2002, p.39, Edward Buscombe): "...Timothy Dalton brings weight....Harris Yulin's railroad baron is also convincingly arrogant...", (08/17/2001, p.4E, Susan Wloszczyna): "...[Farrell] dazzles with his daredevil escapes and double-fisted shooting skills....Ali Larter sparkles...", (08/17/2001, p.8, Kevin Thomas): "...This is a solid, satisfying mainstream entertainment....Director Les Mayfield follows through in robust fashion and elicits crisply defined, career-boosting portrayals from his youthful cast...", (08/17/2001, p.E8, Elvis Mitchell): "...Ms. Larter is all flirty charisma...", (10/01/2001, p.61-2, Paul Clinton): "...Colin Farrell as the outlaw James is good casting....[He] wears a rogue charm appropriate for the role..." |
