Advantages: Lots of extra's on the dvd

Disadvantages: Fairly long

What I love about this DVD is the cinematography. It seems like every single shot in the movie, was carefully planned, so that not only the dialogue and story were conveyed excellently, but the simple beauty of the landscapes, seasons and lifestyle of that time period was conveyed.
This has been, in my opinion, Casey Afflecks greatest performance. The subteltys of the character Robert Ford and Jesse James in their interaction, in this story of betrayal is astounding.
Alot of people I have discussed this film with, either loved it or hated it. I guess it is just one of those films, I have yet to meet someone who was in between.
The extra's on the DVD make this worth buying, there is alot of background and history in this story that explain alot about the portrayal of the tale in this movie.
I cant say I have any quibble about this movie, except maybe, that when your watching it, you dont want to be disturbed.

Summary: If you missed this film when it was in the cinemas, then you need to buy this.

Needs more info. Who's in the film? You mention the extras and that they make the DVD worth buying but what are they?
I want to know a bit more about the story and what exactly you like, or don't like, about it and why.
Let me know if you edit your review and I'll re rate.
