The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

I'm not a big fan of westerns or Brad Pitt (I know, I know...the only woman in the world who doesn't swoon over him), but this film is a gem I recently rented from here.

Summary
Everyone in 1880s America knows Jesse James. He's the nation's most notorious criminal and is being hunted by the law in 10 states. He's also the land's greatest hero, lauded as a Robin Hood by the public. No one knows of Robert Ford, at least not yet. But the ambitious 19-year-old aims to change that. He befriends Jesse and rides with his gang. And if that doesn't bring Ford fame, he will have to find a deadlier way. Friendship becomes rivalry and the quest for fame becomes obsession.
