Review

The Assassination of Jesse James is a 153 minute film that left us wondering what was the point? While the premise of this film sounded good in reality it suffered from poor acting, a poor script and a seriously questionable friendship between Jesse James (Brad Pitt) and Robert Ford (Casey Affleck). The film left nothing to the imagination...even the title contained a spoiler....yes Jesse James is assassinated. Overall, the film was dull, boring and left you wanting to assassinate Jesse James and Robert Ford (plus half of the supporting cast). This film will clearly live on in history as the most boring film ever created.

Watching the film I could not help but think 'two in the head and you know Jesses' died, three in the head and the Director clearly got bored' - but who could blame Ridley Scott as I was bored 30 minutes into this film.

zzzzzzzzzzzz - oh wait the films over ! Time to wake up. Seriously only watch this film if you’re suffering from sleep apnoea. Ridley Scott clearly learnt something from the famous outlaw as he clearly robbed the viewing public blind with this shockingly bad film.
