Title: So realistic, there are no likable characters...
Product review: The good - the cinematography is wonderful - the movie is beautiful to look at. Probably historically accurate, since the characters are dour, grim, ignorant, annoying and lacking in charm or charisma. Jesse James is described in the narrative as charismatic, but Pitt plays him as a cruel, paranoid, self-absorbed guy who works his mouth frequently as if he were wearing poorly fitting dentures. I'm a big Jeremy Renner, Paul Schneider, Sam Shepard, and Sam Rockwell fan - if these guys couldn't raise it out of the mire no one could. And mired it stayed for me - slow, dull, unredeemable. Quit halfway through.
