A charismatic, superstitious and moody man, Jesse James presides over a ragtag gang of outlaws who fear his quick temper and even quicker shooting ability. Young Robert Ford worships Jesse and joins the James Gang, only to become resentful of his hero. Intent on taking Jesse's place, the young upstart hatches a plan to kill the fastest gun in the West. But after gunning Jesse James down, Robert Ford lives out the rest of his days tormented by the cold-blooded killing of his former mentor.

... you are thrilled by gorgeous cinematography, excellent acting and storytelling... and if you are patient, calm and can let the luxurient atmosphere overpower you. This is a film of rare beauty and power but it is vastly different from any Hollywood blockbuster so if it is action, sex romance that you are after, stay VERY FAR AWAY from this film!

I watched this film feeling tired and even fell asleep at some point. That doesn’t mean this film was bad, there were some good performances in it but the structure was just uncomfortable. Brad Pitt as Jesse James creates the most tortured, endearing, and frightening performance possibly of the year thus far. He makes the audience so uncomfortable and awkward yet gives off sensitivity and compassion for a very unlikable and ferocious man whilst Casey Affleck gives the most pathetic, annoying and cowardly performance I have ever seen; and he was brilliant. With his deep "admiration" for Jesse, his Robert Ford is engulfed in Jesse's presence and desires, enjoys the moments with him, even if he is in fear of him. The finale is truly his show as he stretches out his acting legs and dissolves into a character you can't wait to see off-screen.
