Title: Jesse James the Human Being
Product review: Just like the incredible book by Ron Hansen on which it is lovingly based, The Assassination of Jesse James is a lyrical and poignant look at the last years of the outlaw's life. James is portrayed as ornery, dangerous and unpredictable but also as a weary and tired man who realizes too late that the life he is living can only last so long. I was a bit uncomfortable with Brad Pitt in the role at first, but he comes to inhabit the character quite well. Beautiful cinematography too, and excellent acting all around. This will be one that I will purcase and keep. Too bad there are no special features - this kind of film deserves them.
