i just finished watching one of the longest, but most beautiful and intriguing films: The Assassination of Jesse James. the film, suspenseful and eerie, follows Robert Ford (Casey Affleck) as he attempts to earn the admiration of his lifetime hero, Jesse James (Brad Pitt). James is the king of the outlaw world with a large sum of money on his head and Robert finds himself making a deal with law enforcement and in a predicament of whether or not he should betray his lifelong hero or keep his end of the bargain. Brad Pitt, often under rated as an actor and overrated as a man of good looks, creates a fascinating and psychotic character and young Affleck definitely shines far beyond his brother Ben (whom i find to be a terrible actor). if you have both the patience and time, and an appreciation for beautiful cinematography, i highly recommend this one.
