DVD Synopsis

Brad Pitt stars as legendary Wild West outlaw Jesse James in Chopper director Andrew Dominik's cinematic rendering of the events that would eventually bring about the death of the man rumored be the "fastest gun in the West." An eager recruit into James' notorious gang, Robert Ford eventually grows jealous of the famed outlaw. When Robert and his brother Charlie sense an opportunity to kill James, their murderous action elevates their target to near mythical status. Casey Affleck stars as Robert Ford and Sam Shepard co-stars as Frank James -- Jesse's devoted sibling and partner in crime. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

If you are looking for nonstop action then this is not the movie for you. I really enjoyed the movie for its emotional story. I am in fact impressed that they did not turn this into a shoot em up cowboy movie, which is what I expected.

After watching 3:10 to Yuma and hearing such good things about this movie I was really excited. However after 20 minutes of nothing happening I started to have my doubts, but figured I give it a bit more time. But after 2 hours nothing still happened! The acting was essentially the actors mumbling their lines. There were endless shots of wheat blowing in the wind. Three hours past and still nothing happened. The movie ended. I was pissed.
