About this product

Product Information

Based on the 1983 novel by Ron Hansen, THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD captivatingly depicts the final few months of the legendary Jesse James's life. He was 34, and his days of ruthless robbing had dwindled, yet his fearsome reputation continued to swell. With an abundance of nickel-books retelling his brutal gun-slinging adventures, James (portrayed by Brad Pitt, in one his most convincing and moving roles) had become a symbolic hero for many Americans, and a dazzling tabloid icon for the 19th-century media. A particular young man seduced by the wonderment of James, the shifty Robert Ford (a breakthrough performance by Casey Affleck), wormed his way in as a James groupie, in the hopes of snagging a coveted spot alongside his brother Charley (played by the always affable Sam Rockwell) as one of the bandit's cronies. Ford, fiercely insecure and painfully aware that he would never be taken seriously by James (who, ever-plagued by paranoia and skepticism, found Ford's earnest obsession a bit unsettling), grew increasingly angry with his idol, leading to a destructive path that ultimately ended in the anticlimactic death of Jesse James--and brought the treacherous Robert Ford the notoriety he had always wanted.Although this film takes place in the late 1800's, its eerie relevance to modern-day celebrity-obsession scandals is astounding, and adds a fresh scope to what could be viewed as just another cinematic western. Director Andrew Dominick (CHOPPER) furthers the film from its genre by banishing clichéd bullet-infested showdown scenes, instead embracing the relationships and interactions of the outlaws, and creates a mood of brooding and contemplation with exceptional camera angles and lighting. His intensely sophisticated approach to filmmaking illustrates the darkest corners of the characters, and insightfully provides a deeper, heartfelt portrayal revealing what the men might have been like behind their masks.

A great story well told.
Pitt and Afleck deliver immersive roles. There are a few historical slips of narrative/dialogue but those don't impact the characters' credibility. There are moments of stellar photography (I've added stills of my visually favorite scene). DP Deakins shows why the Coen brothers (in my top three directors list) often go to his talents. A truly impressive film. T

"Don't Expect a Shoot 'Em Up Western" or "My Great Grandfather knew The Real One"...
What appeared to be a Very Interesting Film (when viewing the trailer), I found to be rather slow with a lot more dialogue than action. Considering this was a film by Ridley Scott about Jesse James, and based on the novel of the same name, the photography,wardrobe, and sets made up for the Overly Long Interactions between characters. With only a portion of Historical Accuracy, I found Pitt's Portrayal of James as a Loner and Sociopath more "Artistic Freedom" than what I believe to be true. One item revealed in the film that is rarely written about or known, is that Jesse James had a portion of his Middle Finger missing on his Left Hand. This was told to me by my Great Grandfather, who at Ten Years Old actually viewed James' Body in 1882 (he died at 100 Years Old in 1972). I also recall him ...

I also recall him telling me there was still Gold,Money, etc. hidden in Missouri Caves that was yet to be found. I will have to view this DVD again tonight as there are some "Pitt" Fans who had never saw it, however I'm holding out for The 1939 Film with Tyrone Power...

Assassination of Jesse James DVD
While I love Westerns and Brad Pitt is one of my fave actors. This movie was a little slow for my taste. The movie didn't pick up until almost the end. I have to say though that Casey Afleck was superb as Bob Ford the coward who killed Jesse James. He gave a very strong performance and shows tremendous talent for the bad guy. While he isn't as sexy as his brother Ben, I think he still has sexy potential. Keep an eye out for this kid and check out Gone, Baby Gone he gives a good performance there too.Sam Rockwell as Charlie Ford was equally strong in his performance and I have become a big fan of his. He is a fine actor and is completely believable in any role I have seen him in thus far.While I love Westerns and Brad Pitt is one of my fave actors. This movie was a little slow for my taste.

A film of stunning quality; a film of varying debate
I purchased this copy of "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" as a gift for a friend, already having a copy I own that I bought at full retail value. The friend was ecstatic upon receiving it. The movie, I find, is a subject of great debate among fans of the genre/actors. I, personally, think it is a triumph for the genre and for films in general. The cinematography and set design are stunning, telling a story in and of themselves. The editing, score, and costumes are rich and complex even while being simple and threadbare. Casey Affleck did such an impeccable job with the character of Robert Ford that I get the creeping willies every time he's on screen, and Brad Pitt, who usually feels a bit overdone in his typical fare, exuded the same kind of quiet, ...

The cinematography and set design are stunning, telling a story in and of themselves. The editing, score, and costumes are rich and complex even while being simple and threadbare. Casey Affleck did such an impeccable job with the character of Robert Ford that I get the creeping willies every time he's on screen, and Brad Pitt, who usually feels a bit overdone in his typical fare, exuded the same kind of quiet, intense charm that Jesse James was noted for in his lifetime. The supporting cast really made this movie shine for me, though, with such subdued - and at times over-the-top - performances that really pulled me into the era and had me believing in the characters completely. I think where most critics, professional and amateur, get caught up is with the pacing. While it is a western, yes; about famous outlaws, yes; it is not an action film. It is a deep and intricate biopic on Jesse James as a character and as a man. Don't go in expecting explosions and gunfights and chases - you'll get a few, anyway, but nothing quite so much as the louder more brash fare of "3:10 to Yuma" or "The Quick and the Dead" - go for the characters, for the storytelling quality, and for the simple beauty of the film itself. I frequently hear the film described as "slow" - well, eye of the beholder and all that. I think the quiet, sometimes deathly silent and still nature of the film lends to the title splashed on the cover: "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford." This is a movie about a very specific event, with two very specific characters, and I found the pace of the film eerie, intense, and at times terrifying. Not in the manner of a horror film, but just in the sheer fact that you grow so attached to these characters that their fates become things you either dread or rejoice over. I would most definitely purchase this film again, for any lover of Old West history and personages, and any lover of a well done beautiful film, period. I rate the whole experience very, very highly.

A Fairly Accurate Story
Part of the film was a little confusing, and that was in the middle when the one man was killed. Also, one of the towns mentioned never existed, so that historical aspect is wrong. It was a good film otherwise and it kept me interested.
