Its a drama. Not a shoot em up western. And not the comic book character, hero of the wild west that he was made out to be in his time. This movie attempts to show the likely reality of who Jesse James was, and also his killer Robert Ford. It moves slow, just like life in the pre-technology wild west did too. Did you expect a high speed chase scene to happen in the days of 1-horse-power?

The besy performance Brad Pitt has done since fight club. Really really good. And Cassey Affleck was amazing. Oscar

Excellent movie. A thinking man's western. Did a great job of portraying the paranoid psychopath that was Jesse James and how Robert Ford was wrongly scorned.

Beautifully filmed, great cast and well acted but very tough to watch. This is not a shoot-em-up western!

Bring a pillow. Fantastic opportunity to catch up on your sleep. Still waiting for something "dramatic" to happen. A poor movie trying to cash in on Brad Pitt'appeal.

Boring at best. I actually fell asleep at one point (and I wasn't even tired). I thought it might be interesting to see the true story of J.J., I guess I was wrong. Very slow, ok acting, nicely shot, EXTREMELY POOR PLOT.
