    Well the movie was good but it just dragged on for toooooo long and I found myself longing for the movie to just wrap up and end.

    Very interesting view of the man Jesse James. How accurate I can't imagine, and I guess one should read a good biography. I thought both the Pitt and Affleck characters were well done, but it was a bit slow and long. Carol W.

    It wasn't too bad. I agree with everyone who has said that it's not an action film, but rather a portrayal of history. The action scenes are intense, but they don't happen often. It also goes pretty slow, so be prepared for that. The characters are very well played. I got a little lost with all the different characters, so that through me off a bit, but it's worth the watch.
