Title: Two stars for novel casting
Product review: First of all, I could have overlooked the historical inaccuracies of this film if it had still been interesting, but it wasn't interesting, thereby making all the historical inaccuracies that much more annoying. The script is terrible and the actors take characters (like the James' and Youngers) that should be exciting, and deliver their lines in a droning monotone that is simply sleep inducing. The story seems to meander all over the place as though the script writers (which included the Keach brothers) weren't completely certain how they were going to tell the story. The dialogue in several portions of the movie is painfully bad and plays like cheesy melo-drama. The movie seems to be going for a gritty and realistic tone, but it's rather flat and just plain dull. The only thing it has going for it is the novelty of the casting, and that is simply not enough to make it worth the purchase.
