Title: Where's John Ford when you need him?
Product review: I gave this movie the one minimum star, which I feel it legitimately earned for its fabulous cinematography.How can you take a fascinating character like Jesse James -- the subject of many terrific movies like "The Long Riders" and the Tyrone Power/Henry Fonda classic -- and turn it into a boring, turgid, slow-moving and static yawn-fest like this?It seems to me you'd have to purposely set out to find absolutely the most uninteresting things you can about the guy, and make a movie about them.It would be like making a movie about the culinary skills of Attila the Hun. Who cares?The movie actually picks up a bit in the last 20 or so minutes when it focuses on the aftermath of the killing in how it affected Ford, but other than that, it was an overlong two and a half hours that seemed like three days.Get "The Long Riders" instead.
