An outlaws assassination

I rented The Assassination of Jesse James about a week or two ago (the one with Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck), and still can't stop thinkin' about it. It's one of the most underrated movies out there. It's pretty new, think it came out the same day I rented it. I was really surprised to see that it was actually very well made, in every aspect. The cinematography especially. Every shot, every angle, and every scene are woven together with such vivid and picturesque quality for a movie focusing on the assassination of an outlaw. The musical score in The Assassination of Jesse James is what really stood out after the cinematography. Each musical piece chosen for a certain scene fits just right, and didn't need any correction at all. I mean, this soundtrack is good, it's not just, "That had great music" and then you forget about it. If you tend to pay attention to music in movies, you'll go back to hear more. Maybe I have an eye for great movies. Not everyone will agree with me, but those who appreciate the mass of detail that goes into making, like I do, will truly enjoy this movie. Go right now, and rent this one.
