    Longest movie title ever?

    Anyway, just saw this on Cinemax. Excellent movie. I am not a big Brad Pitt fan, but he did a good job.

    Its a shame that Casey Affleck gets overshadowed by his no-talent brother. He is really starting to get some recognition.

    Next to Unforgiven, this is the best western I have ever seen. The cinematography, mood and score were all amazing.

    I highly recommend. They have been playing on Cinemax alot lately.

    Its a masterpiece. I love the acting of both Pitt and Affleck. The tension between them is great.

    Surprised it didn't get much talk like NCFOM.

    Pitt's accent threw me off. Thats probably why I favored Affleck's performance over his.

    Casey was great in Gone Baby Gone

    The best Westerns I have ever seen are:

    The Good The Bad and The Ugly
    Tombstone
    3:10 to Yuma
    The man who shot Liberty Valance

    Man, I've been wanting to watch this for a while now. I loved the 3:10 to Yuma remake. One of the few times where the remake was better than the original IMO.
