This is not your typical western movie. It's own personal spin on the life of Jessie James and his band of 'outlaws'.
For some reason, the very late '90s and the early 2000s spawned the 'Age of Younger Cast' movies. Up and coming stars and so forth.
This movie has a list of actors that either were on their way up or had little known about them film-wise: Colin Farrell, Gabriel Macht, Gregory Smith, Scott Caan, Ali Larter, Joe Stevens. And some larger names of more established actors: Timothy Dalton, Harris Yulin, Kathy Bates.
This movie isn't very deep, no strong feeling of connectivity to the characters. This is just a fun movie. Entertainment value really only. If you're a fan of ensemble casts, this is a pretty decent job of casting.
If you're looking for a movie to just sit back and enjoy.....not major thinking or so forth. This is a good choice.
