IMDB
My Rating: 6/10
Beautifully shot. The movie's focus is not really Jesse James, but the coward, Bob Ford. It's a good way to tell the story, but the tempo of the film is seriously slow. Brad Pitt plays well as Jesse James. I think Brad Pitt might be the only movie star who is versatile but never lose his style. Nick Dave and Zooey Deschanel's brief appearance were nice surprises. About Jesse James, he is just a legend. But like Oscar Wilde said, "Americans are certainly great hero-worshippers, and always take heroes from the criminal classes."
