    Waste of time

    There is a good story hidden somewhere in this film, but please don't waste almost 3 hours of your life trying to find it. Brad Pitt is rubbish, and so are most of the other actors, easily the worst film I have seen this year.

    good cure for insomnia

    wow this film STINKS!! i know that's not very articulate but that's really all that i can say about this 'film'.

    oh go on then i will say more.....boring...slow....boring...slow, we sat down to watch it on a saturday night maybe that was our mistake, we opened the wine, we threw the kids to bed and we got the snacks out and we sat down to be entertained it did not have to change the world for us or say anything profound in any way but it did have to keep us from yawning and falling asleep.

    please please if you only take notice of one review this year make it this one, don't rent this and then maybe they will never make another film as bad as this again,yes you CAN do your bit!!.

    It sounds like the name of a painting. Or possibly the name of the theatrical sketch in which Ford reenacted his inglorious deed several hundred times for the benefit of eager Easterners. It suggests a pivotal moment, frozen in time. And that's what it's about. There are things you should know going in. This isn't an action-packed celebration of derring-do - not by a long chalk. In fact Andrew Dominick's movie concentrates exclusively on the tail end of Jesse James' career. We only see one... Read more
