The Last Days of Frank & Jesse James Reviews
The Outlaws play the Outlaws
During the sixties and seventies a new brand of country music came into being, the "outlaw" school. Championed by Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, and to a lesser extent Kris Kristofferson, these singers made the kind of country music that they, not Nashville, wanted to make. To a large extent their lifestyle mirrored their music. In their music, they created an image of carefree bandits roaming the West, good-hearted but not too good, shooting, loving and running from the law. During the eighties they decided to get into making movies reflective of their vision, and this 1986 TV movie is a result. Johnny Cash plays Frank James, and Kris plays Jesse. Not at all a bad movie, it has a good soundtrack as you might expect, and some nice cameos from country music stars like David Allan Coe and Willie Nelson. (Look for "Desperate Housewives" star Marcia Cross in an early bit role here!)Worth a look!
great
This one should please Frank and Jesse James buffs who have longed to see a movie with various elements of James history and folklore that have been ignored in other films. Frank was a Southern Christian gentleman and student of the Bard and also a thief and killer. Cash does a fine job capturing his contradictions. Johnny, who can convey intelligence, heart, spirtuality and just as believably sing about killing a man just to watch him die, is brilliant here. Kristofferson is also superb as Jesse. Just as impressive are June Carter Cash, Willie Nelson, and David Allan Coe. Sadly Willie's part is only a cameo, but it's pure gold. A fine movie that is sure to entertain fans of the cast, folks who love a good Western, and Frank & Jesse James enthusiasts.
