Movie | The Assassination of Jessie James by the Coward Robert Ford | Pass

A great cast and gorgeous cinematography compensate for one of the worst titles ever and impossibly slow pacing. I would rather have seen Brad Pitt and Sam Rockwell switch roles. That would have been more interesting. Still, it's a good movie, worth seeing if you've got over two and a half hours to kill and like watching skilled actors do a lot with so little.

But in the end, it all comes across as painfully self aware and a rather boring viewing experience. A character study more than anything else.
