5.0 out of 5 stars Jesse James, American Outlaw, July 26, 2008

The DVD about Jesse James (presented as on the History Channel) is like watching a movie concerning the real life of Jesse James and how people feared and yet revered him! It tell the story of a young man who made it his business to become of the Jesse's outlaws, but ultimately ended up killing Jesse James by shooting him in the back. Very interesting. I'm very happy to have it in my collection.

A good production on the plot to kill Jesse James. A deeper insight on Robert Ford and his desire and ambitions to be a member of the James gang.
His disappointments concerning his role in the gang that eventually led to the plot and it's consequences.

1.0 out of 5 stars Jesse James Lite, May 19, 2008

By	S. O'Neill "sadder but wiser" (Vancouver, BC Canada) - See all my reviews

This is a superficial look at a well known figure. A friend had recomended it, but I found it uninformative and boring.

It is a limp,ineffective attempt to cash in on a current movie. Dont waste your money on it.
