Editorial Reviews

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

Jesse James is stunningby GothamCity06365

August 29, 2009: I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this film. One of the few DVD's I bought without seeing first. I've watched it a dozen times since purchasing. It is nicely paced, thoughtful adaptation of Hansen's novel. Brad Pitt plays James not as dime store novel hero but as a ruthless, suspicious outlaw who doesn't trust anyone. Casey Affleck as Robert Ford is the young man who looks up to James, emulates him and finally shoots him. The supoorting cast, especialy Sam Rockwell are fantastic. The music by Nick Cave and the photography are outstanding. A really fine film which gets better with each viewing

Amazing film, very UNDERRATEDby Skin

June 01, 2009: This film is filled with nothing but beauty. The acting is incredible including Brad Pitt (which im not personally a fan of). Brad Pitt does an amazing job at making the characters (and the audience) uncomfortable and nervous, remaining always one step ahead of everyone and knowing your every move. Casey Affleck is very underrated, being the better of the afflecks, he portrayed a cowardess and weak character, yet, yearning and oblivious to it's precision. You hate what he does in the movie, but at the end, you wanna feel sorry for him.alot of my love goes to the score composed by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. It's amazing! If you didnt enjoy the movie, the soundtrack will move you at least (note the scene where they actually kill jesse james, amazing cinematography with the perfect score) dont go into expecting a western and violence. Expect a character study of obsession and greed (robert ford), and of depression and insanity (Jesse James).
