Jake Gittes Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Jake, you think Killing Them is as good as Jesse James?For me it's in the same ballpark, although it's not easy to compare a 160-minute period Western epic and a 97-minute crime thriller. I'd say Jesse James is more of an achievement considering just how much went into it; KTS is a lot more slight, but it also accomplishes everything it sets out to do and it packs more of an immediate punch. Both are excellent, and Chopper (Dominik's first film) is up on that level too, I'd suggest everyone to see that one if they haven't. Eric Bana is incredible in it, and it somewhat resembles KTS in its length (less than 100 minutes) and its very dark humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) KTS will probably be more divisive than Jesse, too. There is so much in the latter that it's very possible to enjoy at least various parts of it, even if not the whole. KTS will either fire on all cylinders or it won't deliver at all (sure, I think most will agree that it's well-shot and Pitt is as charismatic as ever, but it's the way the story is told and the idea is expressed that will either work for you or it won't). Fortunately, I found myself being along for the ride from the very first minute. Edited October 26, 2012 by Jake Gittes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) Can't decide between letter or number grades... neither feels quite right. Edited October 28, 2012 by Gopher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toymaker Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I wish I could decide too. I keep meaning to start a number grading system out of 100 for the movies I watch, but I've done so many with grades now that it would be hard to grade newer movies i see because I try to fit them in between previous movies I have seen, and I cannot quite decide what number each grade is represented as.
