The James brothers Western.

Warning: Spoilers
After having rented some other 90s Westerns,i got recommend this film.Having not heard of this film at all before watching it,i have to say i was really surprised about how good it was!. The plot: Four years after The Ameerican Cival War has ended.The famous outlaws Frank and Jesse James decied to re-form there old gang,after feeling the the "working man" is getting misused by some Chicago investors.What they don't know is the some of there gang members will plan things that are going to lead to one of there's blood getting spilt...

View on the film: The cast:I have to say that while the supporting actors do a really good job,the main stand-outs are Rob Lowe and Bill Paxton as the James brothers.They both make you feel they really could be brothers!,with Lowe as the gun-slinging James and Paxton as his worn and tired out brother Frank. The Screenplay/Direction: The film was written and directed by Robert Boris.The clever thing Boris did was to start the film from a different place then where most Westerns start.In that,instead of having a feel-good ending,he makes the start feel-good,and then makes the ending into a bit of a dark feel(in a really good way.)

Final view on the film: A really good and very under-rated recent Western.
