      Audience Member Decent film and one that, I think, tries to be historically accurate. Did not realize Frank James never went to prison and lived until the early 1900's. Always liked Lowe and Paxton. Plan to revisit this one again someday. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Why would anyone consider this a good movie? It has twisted the facts so badly. Reuben Samuel was not shot by a railroad man (or whatever he called himself) and it was Pinkerton men who caused the death of Archie and cost Zerelda Samuels her arm. Cole did not shoot Bob in the woods after the Northwestern fiasco. Both Bob and Cole were captured and sent to prison, where Bob died. Cole served 16 years. I've heard of dramatic license but this is a far cry from that. I'm not sure what to call this movie, other than a twin to the Northwestern fiasco. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Un bon western même s'il saute un peu dans les temps. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Hollywoodized account of the James Gang with its share of factual errors. Portrays many characters only in extremes such as Pinkerton while the Ford Brothers are shown as whimpering followers of the James Brothers. Randy Travis is solid and gives us a good campfire song but hard to truly buy into Rob Lowe as the outlaw Jesse James. Best to seek out THE LONG RIDERS for a far better and more stylish account. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I wanna like it... but its so cheesy. The story is all wrong. Its kinda hard to watch. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Another version of the outlaw duo this time headed up by big stars Paxton and Lowe as the brothers, no one else is much of a draw here as this seems more of a low budget production, possibly more of a TV movie, but sometimes films work better that way. Well not this time I'm afraid, the film is reasonable with acceptable performances and it does, at times, look quite realistic with its bare no frills look but there is a whole load of dubious fake looking gun fighting, fake looking deaths and dodgy extras acting going on in the background that kinda spoils things. The main issue is of course the historical facts, for some reason the powers that be deemed it better to change many facts around making the film completely errr wrong. Even common knowledge facts such as the man who shot Jesse James, twas Bob not Charlie!! so why does this film change it?.
