Nick: Look at that long six shooter; with it Bob Ford killed Jesse James, cashiered his own dubious heroism, and destroyed any lingering confidence in the American dream. What a movie: 120 minutes of quiet brilliance immolated by 1200 seconds of transcendent beauty. Rarely have I been so moved and stunned by either fact or fiction. Masterful work, just . . . wonderful. There aren't words.Saturday, March 1, 2008
