I rewatched it a few weeks back when I was on a break and I have to say it's better than I remembered. What you think is a Western/thriller is actually a brilliant subtle psychological drama. The performances are excellent -- Affleck, who is tragically torn between his jealously and hero worship. Pitt is terrifyingly unpredictable, racked with paranoia, fear and anger. Both of whom convey great sympathy despite their polarising actions. It's a slow burn of a film, but it is captivating. Outstanding film.

Only seen it once and i found it pretty mesmerising. Unfortunately the blu ray of it contains egregious edge sharpening and filtering kind of ruining its natural beauty so have not watched it again. If a nice looking version came outr, I would surely buy it.. a criterion or Arrow video would be dandy.

Was on my final cuts from my top 50. Excellent all around- direction, cinematography, acting, screenplay, etc, etc. Ppl who harp on the title don't belong - it's about Ford trying to assassinate the myth & legend of James for his own purpose. He fails spectacularly.
