We watched The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford last night. It was very slow moving and awkward. It was not a bad movie, but it was not very good either. Brad Pitt made a good Jesse James. Casey Affleck (this dude can act, unlike his brother), was very good as the coward Robert Ford. I think most of you know the story that Jesse James was killed in his own home, by a friend Robert Ford. I knew this and the title of the show kind of gives it away. You know that at some point there will be a show down between the two of them. It is pretty cool. I did not know what happened afterward.
**START SPOILERS**
Robert Ford tries to become famous as the person that killed Jesse James, and for a while all is good. Everyone loves him. As time goes on, people turn on him. As more time passes people start to hate him and make fun of him. Jesse James was like a national hero even though he was one of the bad guys. Robert Ford is eventually murdered in his own bar, and no one really cared. The End.
**END SPOILERS**
I give this movie 3.5 out of 5 stars. It is good, the acting is great. I really like the narration that was done in the movie. This movie could have had a better rating if it did not seem so awkward in places. Matbe that is how they wanted it to be.
The End
