Direction is phenomenal I became a fan of Mr.Dominik wow...Brad impressed me and so did the guy who plays Ford's brother...a must see movie

Beyond the films uncanny beauty and perfect score lies a story about the tragedy of envy and celebrity. The film not is just a comparison of man role as leader and follower but asks if man can truly be either, due to the evils from within.

Casey Affleck delivers an oscar worthy, timeless performance as a leading character, although the academy has seen fit to grant him the nod for a supporting role.

hands down one of the most moving films ever made

Brad is good but there is an element of posturing, I feel. Jesse was a psycho/sociopath. There are extremes of behaviour and feeling but there is less depth and complexity than in Casey Affleck's extraordinary portrayal of Robert Ford. This is true Oscar material. Ignore the yawns etc... this is a wonderful film

Will be renting this film on the basis of this intelligent review as Pitt seems to have turned up the heat on his acting in the last few years. Also, there's nothing more interesting than a truly horrific villain with a grudge on his shoulder--on the screen anyway.

This film is incredibly dull and takes forever to get to the point. I have seen it given excellent ratings: those reviewers are simply recalling the the last 30 minutes - probably because they forgot the rest - which is when the film finally gets going. A good hour at least could easily have been chopped out without anyone noticing. There was the assassination of Jesse James but at least three suicides in the audience. I was thinking of building a time machine to travel back and shoot Jesse James myself as it might have brought the film to a swifter and more interesting conclusion!

My husband & I can't wait to see this movie! We are just getting frustrated by not knowing when it will play in our area (where it all took place originally) in Western Missouri!
Does anyone know when it will play in this area?

Not only was it beautifully shot- the music also fitted effortlessly and dramatised the effect. You can listen in full to the Nick Cave soundtrack and listen to director Andrew Domink's playlist on the Last.fm Jesse James group page- have a look!

Dan, London,

One of the best films I've ever seen. Beautiful moments of visual poetry, almost unbearable tension and - like all the best westerns - music to suit. One of those rare films that makes you cross your fingers as it draws to a close, hoping it doesn't dumb down or compromise it's integrity. It doesn't miss a beat.

Brad Pitt has matured into much, much more than a pretty boy...I cannot WAIT to see him in this movie!

Mark Clemens, Austin, Texas USA

This movie does not look interesting at all. Brad Pitt playing Jesse James is even less interesting . Boring, it will bomb in the U.S.

sue, chattanooga,

Have you ever seen a picture of Jesse James? The guy was not even ruggedly handsome! Although I think Pitt a good actor and always does well in the roles he chooses, and Im sure the audience will love watching him; I dont think he can pull off someone as ugly inside as they were on the outside. I hope Im wrong as I lookforward to seeing the movie.
