Saw "The Assasination of Jesse James by The Coward Robert Ford" last night. Very good, great performances, very well made but...in some ways it's almost like a documentary, and the voice overs adds to that feeling a little. It's still very good, it moves at a steady pace but it definitely isn't an action movie, despite containing very realistic, non-dramatised violence. Pitt, Affleck and Rockwell are excellent, as are all the supporting cast - right from the first moment you first see Affleck as Bob Ford you just get that feeling that there is something creepy about him, and can see why every he invoked that emotion in his contemporaries. Very realistic and not at all romanticised, it focuses on the characters involved not their adventures, but in the end it's very hard to feel much empathy for the characters involved.
