4.0 out of 5 stars the legend never dies, March 1, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Last Days of Frank & Jesse James (DVD)

Footnotes from the lives and legends of Frank and Jesse James that are often left out of other James movies are featured in this one. It's a charming TV movie that seems to be as close to the truth as legends can ever be. In other words, it takes a slightly more realistic approach to the legend, but still comes across like a whopping yarn your Southern grampa would tell you. I liked that. Don't expect too much action, but get ready to be charmed. Have a beer, settle back, and enjoy.

3.0 out of 5 stars three and a half stars, February 26, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Last Days of Frank & Jesse James (DVD)

The Last Days of Frank and Jesse James is a good mix of historical facts with a lot of legend. It might be the most accurate movie version, but it's not entirely factual and makes good use of folklore. Legends about Frank and Jesse not having the same father, their Indian wives, and an affair Jesse supposedly had are all worked into the movie. My only complaint is that a scene involving Jesse taking too many drugs for a bullet wound just ends. The movie could have been a little better, but it's pretty good and the performances deserve 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars +A, February 23, 2004

This review is from: The Last Days of Frank & Jesse James (DVD)

Recently I saw this movie while working on a class project. It was a report on Jesse James. Movies like American Outlaws are not even close to the real story. Last Days Of Frank And Jesse James and Long Riders were the two DVDs I watched that were closest to the facts. There are some changes. Long Riders has some moments of action that are there to make the movie entertaining. This one has Frank watching historical events that took place, but Frank didn't see them. In American Outlaws they have Jesse's mother die in Jesse's arms, but in real life he died before she did and the whole movie is wrong. At least this one tried to tell the true story is 90% right.
