As others have mentioned here, this isn't a typical shoot 'em up - this is a story and not an action film. I especially liked how the characters were portrayed in the film and how well the actors gave that portrayal.
One thing that especially struck me is the cinematography - the great quality of it reminded me of Open Range's cinematography, just because the quality is so excellent. The sequence with the train robbery and in particular how the train's headlight plays across and thru the trees is beautiful, as are other parts.

this is more than just a movie about the killing of Jesse James.the
story is about the event leading up to the title and the aftermath.it's
a well done movie with great performances from Brad Pitt as James,Sam
Rockwell as Charlie Ford,and Casey Affleck as Robert Ford.the
supporting performances are also very good.this is not an action
film,but a deliberately paced character study.the film is well written
and has some very good dialogue.it also has a voice over
narration,which i thought worked well with this movie.it does tend a
bit toward slowness,but only for brief moments and only
occasionally,and is never boring.the story and characters are quite
compelling.i found myself quite engrossed in the story and the
characters.for me,The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert
Ford is a 5/5

If you love cinema and are open minded enough... if you are thrilled by film-makers pushing the bounderies a little more... if you are in awe of gorgeous cinematography (and I'm not simply talking of pretty pictures but exploring composition and lighting)... if you do not need constant thrills in order to keep your interest... and if you are always searching for a fresh and original vision... then this film is for you! NOTE: This is NOT a typical western so if you dislike the genre, you should still consider it.
Pay special attention to the night time train robbery sequence. It is one of the most outstanding sequences in recent cinema.

Superb
This is quite unlike anything one would normally expect from a western genre picture and a Brad Pitt vehicle. For those more in tune with more slow-paced, psychological dramas. Read more

It gets no better...
This is a modern masterpiece.
Not your regular shootem up western, in fact it's not a western, it's a character driven story with great performances from its actors. Read more

Reconsidering why the dirty little coward shot down Mr. Howard
There is a point following the titular event in "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford," where Ford has to listen to somebody singing about the event and "the... Read more
