He could never have imagined that history would ultimately mark him as the “the dirty little coward” who shot Jesse in the back.

Everything about Assassination of Jesse James DVD is an epic film that’s part literary treatise, part mournful ballad, and completely a portrait of our world, as seen in a distant mirror.
