5.0 out of 5 starsFamiliar tale finally Done Properly.
By MarmiteMan on 1 Oct. 2002
Format: DVD
Yet another reworking of one of America's favourite outlaws, Jesse James (others being Billy the Kid and Al Capone). For many Southerners with romantic yearnings for the Ol' Confederacy, Jesse James is the present-day students' equivalent of Che Guevara, and is often erroneously given the soubriquet of a 'latter-day Robin Hood' (who robbed from the Yankees to give to the oppressed Southerners o' Missouri). Other such films were Jesse James (1939), Jesse James Rides Again (1947), The Great Jesse James Raid (1953), The True Story Of Jesse James and The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid (1971) - all with various claims of 'authenticity.'

The true story of Jesse James and the James-Younger Gang is, of course, more complex. For a start, they hailed from the Clay County region of Missouri. After Appomatox, Raleigh and Kirby Smith's and Stand Watie's surrenders, many Missourians - notably 'Bloody Bill' Anderson and Quantrill's Raiders - did not regard the war as 'over,' continuing, in the name of the Confederacy, to harrass the Union with train hold-ups and bank-robberies, then seeking refuge among their tight-knit Missouri communities. Part of the folk hero cult status thus gained was also due to Eastern newspaper columnists and dime novelists sensationalizing these actually-criminal exploits. The original James-Younger gang broke up following the disastrous attempted bank-robbery, far from their home patch, in Northfield, Minnesota (7 September, 1876).

Jesse and Frank James got away, returned to their trusted Missouri surroundings, and attempted to revive their gang with new recruits. Although there were a few more train robberies, the 'great days' were over; their chief feat was simply to remain at large year after year, still possessing a certain flamboyance and style.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the most underrated westerns of all time...
By Luisito Joaquín González on 9 Aug. 2004
Format: DVD
Back in the glory days of 1980, Michael Bay was just a fifteen year old lad with a love of movies who would soon begin his enrolment at Wesleyan University. Bryan Singer too was a mere child, probably admiring films like The Long Riders with his buddy Ethan Hawke. It would take a further six years for John Mc Tiernan to carve his name in the Hollywood ladder and John Woo was still finding his directorial roots in Southern China. The man to watch when it came to extremely stylised action was one Walter Hill, the creator of such awesome gun-totting avalanches as Extreme Prejudice, The Warriors and Johnny Handsome. Long since categorised as 'the' director for choosing style over content, Hill started out his career as a screenwriter. He penned The Getaway for Sam Peckinpah, who was obviously his idol, and in almost all of his movies he adds visual flourishes that are unsubtly reminiscent of Peckinpah's accomplishments. (Check out Extreme Prejudice where Hill almost out Peckinpahs Peckinpah!) Like all of cinema's greatest achievers, Hill had an unbridled love for the western. Over the length of his career, he would return to the genre again and again, giving us offerings that ranged from the large-scale excess of Geronimo: an American legend, to the smaller, but just as historically accurateWild Bill.
By far the best of his Western work, The Long Riders tells the tale of the James/Younger legacy, a slice of history that has been adapted for the silver screen on countless occasions. Perhaps the film's strongest and most alluring attribute is the fact that the cast contains real life acting siblings in the shape of the Carradines, the Keaches, the Guests and the Quaids as the band of outlaws.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsBrilliant !
By A Customer on 19 Jun. 2005
Format: DVD
Maybe I`m having a mid-life crisis but I find myself watching this movie(which I only saw for the first time two years ago when it was shown on tv) repeatedly, probably about ten times in the last couple of years, and it gets better with each viewing. What`s so remarkable about this is that I don`t usually like westerns at all. But The Long Riders is just fantastic. The lack of "iconic" western stalwarts like John Wayne and Clint Eastwood et al is a significant contributing factor to the sheer class of this movie. The fact that I happen to like James and Stacy Keach and David and Keith Carradine helps a lot too. Not too sure about Randy Quaid though, who, to me, has the sort of face more suited to a comedy role.
Anyway, it`s a great movie all round. The music, from Ry Cooder`s slide guitar to the traditional songs and tunes, is inspired. The scene, near the end, where the gang attempt to rob the Northfield bank makes for compelling viewing and I have watched this particular part of the film countless times.
I think I`m addicted to this movie!

4.0 out of 5 starsJesse - "We rob banks, Jim. We don`t need any checkin` !"
By A Customer on 6 Feb. 2006
Format: DVD
Stylish Western with a soundtrack refreshingly different to the usual orchestral background music.
No drawn-out romantic subplots.
James Keach, Stacy Keach, David Carradine, Keith Carradine are all great, but especially the gruffly laconic, staring-eyed James Keach(Jesse James)who does some classic Western tough guy posing around, and the rough `n` rugged image is enhanced later in the film when he`s grown a beard for the unforgettable Northfield sequence - "Time lock, hell!...now you open that vault, mister, y`hear!".
The long grey coats worn by the gang was a great idea and adds to the overall style of the movie(although I can`t help thinking that for a gang intent on slipping discreetly into a small town to rob the bank, perhaps it wouldn`t have been advisable for all members of the gang to wear the same style of conspicuously light grey overcoat. But that`s the real world, this is a movie!).
The aforementioned Northfield bank raid sequence is a first class piece of Western cinematography, and absololutely thrilling. My only criticism of this part of the movie is that it should go on for longer, much longer, with even more slow-motion shooting. The bit where Frank, Cole, Jesse, Bob, and the somewhat compromised Jim, exchange gunfire with the townsfolk across the narrow street is so hard-hitting and exciting to watch that it`s a pity that we only get such fleeting glimpses of some of it, especially of Jesse James(James Keach again), whose pose, if you`re quick enough to pause the DVD for the split second the camera`s on him, is so darn classic and iconic, it would make a great poster in its own right.
