MOVIE REVIEW

The movie with the longest title this year, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, may also be one of the year's best. Featuring terrific performances and a long but thoughtful screenplay, Jesse James isn't your ordinary western, but it is certainly a tour de force in its own right.
