....recognize this flick for the amazing, underrated gemstone that it is:
Superior acting; stunning visuals (including that milky, hallucination-like camera distortion that's frequently used by director Andrew Dominik...and then, only singling it out 'cause its fresh on my mind, the whole train robbery setpiece, with the white masks glowing in the locomotive-lights moving through the darkness); long, involving narrative that lassoes you in and keeps tightening the noose; and sparse, haunting soundtrack throughout.
Gets better every time I watch. And I'm convinced that it's one of the most underrated, looked-over films in recent years.
