Wonderful film, no action-thriller at all, au contraire, a slow pace.
Admirable, or merely wondrous, that Warner Brothers went with the director's cut while he didn't have final cut. They wanted more action, he didn't. Brad Pitt made a difference, perhaps.
Casey Affleck did a great job. He was scary, he was ambitious. Convincing.
What I missed, was -why- Jesse James was so popular. He gave money to the poor... but we never saw that.
Just as him going more and more paranoia. It is voice-overed, once, but made believable by the fact that other members of his gang were being rounded up soon after. Him fleeing the city was smart. At the end though, it is suggested he was quite paranoia, but this is conveyed through dialogue by others, hardly by anything he shows.
OST by Nick Cave was good. Don't know whether it'll hold up without the images.
