I agree with many of the reviews currently on here. The film is worth a watch, very well acted through out, it's certainly no action film, more a concentrated portrayal of the two main characters and is done very well. The Blu-ray transfer does look average, some parts looking very crisp with great contrast between colours. Others look marginally better than DVD. I'd recommend the film as being worth a watch, but I'd pick up the DVD for a quarter of the price.
Very good film, maybe buy dvd than blu ray disc?

First of all the movie, great acting peformance from Brad Pitt, very intense performance. The movie requires a lot of attention to pick up all the talking that goes on and the storys that are told. this film is not an action movie, its a drama, so there are no major gun fights etc.
In respect of blu ray, although it looks good, this type of film does not do it justice, nice backgroaunds etc, but nothing that will give you the wow factor.
I would recommend this film, but on dvd, then use your dvd upscaler to bring the picture up. for this type of movie it will be cheaper but still effective.
i hope this helps
Thanks
Great Film....But Not For Everyone

This is an outstanding film. Superb director, Oscar-worthy acting and a thoroughly compelling storyline. However, this film contains very little action and is fundamentally a character examination of Jesse James and Robert Ford. Although the main storyline is obvious due to the title, the process of how we get there makes the film stand out. Highly recommended. The Blu-Ray transfer is not as good as some other films but is still significantly better than the stand-alone DVD version
