Now if you can get passed the fact that Brad Pitt dies in the movie, it was great! For those of you reading this who think I just ruined the ending, well that's like ruining the ending of Titanic, so don't worry about it.
Anyhow, Brad Pitt (who played Jesse James) and Casey Affleck (who played the Coward Robert Ford) rocked it. Affleck really surprised me out of the entire cast. I already knew that Pitt and Sam Rockwell (who played Charley Ford) possessed the ability of delivering some intense characters, but Affleck really stood out in this film. He plays such a miserable selfish rat; the audience can't help but hate him.
A brief synopsis (for those who don't know the story, i.e. the same people who thought I ruined the ending): The bandits, Jesse James and his gang, become famous for bank robberies, kidnappings, and killings around Missouri. For years, James was an outlaw, unable to be captured by authorities. Two brothers, Robert and Charley Ford join James only to end up backstabbing him for reward money.
Long story short, Robert Ford becomes famous for shooting James in his own home, but he falls from grace and is labeled a coward after reenacting the murder for years in front of an audience. It's an incredible story, almost hard to believe it really happened. Rent it; great story and hot guys. Can you ask for more?
