What a waste of time watching this film. Almost typical Pitt film. He is pretty boring more times than not. Lots of staring and no talking. Almost like a silent film. I sure hope he was working for a percentage of the film take and not a million dollar salary. This is one of those movies where you wonder what the women see in this guy. He has his good moments, but with a beard or unshaved look, he is definately not that good looking. The whole story line was poor and what acting there was, was not that great.

Great story hauntingly told. Normally I would agree with other reviewers that it could have been shorter. However, it would have been impossible for the viewers to see the nuances in the characters (which is the reason Casey Affleck was nominated.) This movie will age very well in my opinion. If you like detail, and or movies that force the characters to look inward give this movie a chance. The director did an absolute wonderful job of telling the story and used every minute wisely.

This moving was so slow and the plot drug on and on. It was so slow it was hard to follow. Don't waste your time.

The most interesting thing about this flick was the political pundit James Carville (yes, that James Carville) in the significant role of Judge Crittenden. Other than that, don'y waste your time. ...

Casey Affleck manages to outshine Brad Pitt in every way. The scenes where he's on the screen are magnetic. Unfortunately, the movie falls apart with the slow storyline. About an hour too long.

This movie couldn't hold our attention, so we turned it off after an hour. If you like this time period in American history and the wild, old West, it may appeal to you. Otherwise, I suggest something else that's not as dark.

Great Movie, but not a "shoot em up": This movie is on of the best movies, not just westerns I've seen in a while. The character development was so deep that it actually leads you to having feelings for the characters and a genuine connection. This is not your traditional shoot-em-up western, so if your looking for action, look somewhere else(although their are action scenes). The movie is somewhat long, but unless youre an impatient teenager, you should be ok ; )
