The Assassination Of Jesse James...

Who's in it? Brad Pitt, Casey Affleck, Mary-Louise Parker, Sam Rockwell
What's it about? Having idolised Jesse James all his life, Robert Ford desperately tries to join the outlaw's gang but grows to hate him.
What type of film is it? Drama
Is it any good? Not a movie for a romantic night in full of light entertainment, but if you stick with this slow-burning wordy drama it would be well worth your while. Brad Pitt turns in a first class lead performance and Casey Affleck proves that he is every bit as good an actor – if not better – than his brother, Ben. Stunning scenery and a captivating soundtrack make this worth checking out – if you’re in the right move.
