Editorial Reviews

The story of Jesse and Frank James, the real-life robbers whose exploits earned them a Robin Hood reputation, has been portrayed in dozens of films more faithful to the myth than the history. Only in the revisionist 1970s did the romantic shadings come off in a few genre-busting examples (notably The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid and The Long Riders). Oddly enough, this 1996 feature takes more than a few factual liberties to restore the romantic portrait of the bank-robbing brothers. Four years after the Civil War, in a South crawling with carpetbaggers and occupied by Union troops, the hot-headed Jesse (Rob Lowe) and his clear-headed older brother Frank (Bill Paxton) take to the trail in a campaign of bank jobs, train robberies, and stagecoach holdups while evading the dogged efforts of Allan Pinkerton (William Atherton) and his detective agency. Writer-director Robert Boris presents the boys as heroes of the defeated South, gentleman robbers avenging the pillage of their people by the ruthless railroad and bank concerns pouring in from the North and pursued by a maniacally driven Pinkerton on a personal quest for revenge. In the wake of Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, Frank and Jesse comes off as old-fashioned and a little naive, but the measured pace and casting of country singer Randy Travis (who narrates and plays Cole Younger with a voice like molasses) gives the film, in moments, the intimacy of a ballad. --Sean Axmaker

Relaxing Alternative Music for the Winter Season.......2007-01-10

"Shining Light" will lift your spirits during the gloomy winter months, and is a great alternative to over-played commercialized Christmas music. This is a wonderful collection of ancient music that provides a soothing and meditative experience.

Incidental liturgical music. Great listening........2005-12-16

'shining light' performed by Sequentia, the Ensemble for medieval music, is an excellent collection, running for over 70 minutes, of fragments of instrumental music and vocal music in Latin from monasteries in and around the southwestern French city of Limoges.

While this may not rate five stars as an academic piece, it is certainly worth the ranking as music easy on the ears, combining instrumental, male, and female choral music.

I wlll let the scholars fight it out. I simply find it an excellent collection of early music performances.

Sounds as pure as water.......2001-01-04

This disc is so beautiful, so full majesty and spirituality. It can quiet the stress and bring sweet comfort. The Sequentia singers so clean-sounding. Their voices have never sounded so pure, like the running of the streams. The chasms of the earth and the sea would be moved to the sounds.

Great Story of Two American Heroes, FREEDOM FIGHTERS.......2006-02-09

A lot of reviewers have given this western a less-than-perfect rating due to its historical "in-accuracy". I have read the books and researched these two freedom fighters on the Internet for many years.

THIS MOVIE IS 99% ACCURATE.

They were NOT murderers, or "poor victims of society". They were merely seeking vengence and JUSTICE. They bravely continued the South's Great War for Freedom.

Pinkerton (the bad guy) WAS an @$$hole, as depicted in old manuscripts and letters.

The acting, storyline, plot, and everything are perfect. It starts with our heroes, after being released and swearing an oath to the loyalty of the yankees (United States), minding their own business and working on their farm.

Suddenly they (including their family) were terrorized by a villian represented by the Railroad of Chicago, Ill. Father was shot dead, brother (Frank James) wounded, and home torched.

These two gentlemen (Frank and Jesse) decide to start a gang and rob banks and railroads. As shown in the train scene, the gang "never takes money from the working man".

I won't give any more away but to just leave on a good note. This is a must-see for fans of the Old West. Along with John Wayne and Clint Eastwood.

Highly Entertaining Western!.......2005-12-20

There have been many movies made about Jesse James over the years. Frank and Jesse is one of the good ones! I enjoyed this very much. All Western fans should give it a look. I liked it so much that I bought it.

PU.......2005-07-31

It stinks. The 2 mass murderers are depicted as poor victims of society. They're cocky and stupid in the show. The movie puts Pinkerton in bad light. Of course cocky and stupid people will enjoy loathing him. Bad acting all around.

OUTLAWS? How about defenders of freedom?.......2005-05-17

People who watch this movie will finally perhaps realize what was behind the James gang. These were not rebel raising outlaws who stole for fun, they were men who were ran off their land and ATTACKED by our own corrupt government, the railroads burned out and killed anyone who would not sell so that they may lay their precious track...so Frank and Jesse went to work.
Also introduces Pinkerton, the man who founded the Pinkerton detective agency and later on the secret service. He was a real JERK, by the way...:)

Frank and Jesse.......2005-02-12

The Civil War ends and Frank and Jesse James have long since mustered out of Quantrill's band of Yankee-hating raiders. The brothers try to return to the ranch but are forced by circumstances - circumstances in large part created by carpetbagging politicians, greedy railroad men, and eastern bankers - to return to a life of crime. One particularly ghoulish looking railroad land buyer is rebuffed - Get off'n my land - only to come back a-gunnin' and a-bombin'. A James or two is killed and the brothers find themselves yet again in the position of guerilla warriors against the United States government. Or, to put it less sympathetically than 1994's FRANK AND JESSE does, robbing banks and trains is a whole lot easier, and more fun, way to make a living than busting sod.
FRANK AND JESSE isn't any more concerned with historical accuracy than most movies. It casts a sympathetic eye at its title characters, treating them as modern day Robin Hoods, ennobling their post-Civil War careers. I have fewer problems with distorted history than with bad scripts and weak stories. The boys are ennobled to the same degree the bad guys are debased and whoever was responsible for this script laid `bad' on with a thick trowel. Bankers are venal and corrupt. Railroad men are rapacious and corrupt. The US Army is the corrupt lackey arm of the carpetbaggers. Even William Atherton, who plays detective and arch-James' nemesis Allan Pinkerton, emerges as a character a shade or so shy of two dimensions.
Anyway, the bad guys can't shoot straight (it really does take ten Yankees to kill a Reb!), they'll kick a poor widder women off'n her land less'n she pays an exorbitant mortgage demanded by the Eastern Banker, and The People hate them. In one of many awkward scenes, the James and the Younger boys discuss reuniting the Gang. Someone reminds the group "we've got to keep the heart of the people." It sounded forced and phony - a line more appropriate to a bad ad campaign or a bad movie about a bad war than a bad western. Detective Pinkerton will be surrounded by the James' Gang on more than one occasion, with Yank troopers falling like ten-pins to the right and to the left of him, and escapes without a scratch!
FRANK AND JESSE wore me down long before they arrived at Northfield and committed the famous bank robbery. I wasn't ready for the ludicrous ending. If you're familiar with Jesse James' life story I'll give you a couple of hints. Jesse knows the Ford brothers' visit is more than a social call. Before Jesse adjusts the crooked picture he looks in on his son, who is in bed asking his mother "We don't have to move again, do we, Mommy?" Jesse's (Rob Lowe) reaction shot is in soft focus. If anything, FRANK AND JESSE will demonstrate the lengths some responsible parents used to go to to keep Junior in the same school.
There were some bright points. As usual, Bill Paxton as Frank James gives a subtle and nuanced performance. Randy Travis (Cole Younger) warbles a pleasant Auld Lang Syne around a campfire.
My favorite scene will probably pass by anyone who hasn't seen Walter Hill's THE LONG RIDERS, another story about the Jamess and the Youngers and another that devotes a fair amount of time to the Northfield bank robbery.
THE LONG RIDERS combines slow-motion photography, daring stunts and skillful editing to make of the robbery a memorably exciting scene. For instance, a galloping horse is shown exploding through a plate glass window. Okay - real glass from a real plate glass window would have cut the horse to ribbons, and the movie horse galloped off into the Minnesota wilderness unnicked, but it was visually exciting. Almost exactly the same situation develops in FRANK AND JESSE. In Northfield a thundering horse gallops through an empty building. Floorboards clatter, the rampaging steed leaps and - doink. The resistable horse is thrown back by the immovable object - aka the malfunctioning prop. The heavy window, attached by a top hinge, yawns out about four inches. The stunned beast repurchases his traction, carefully noses the window and sort of squeezes out over the sill.
FRANK AND JESSE squeezes out over the screen and clocks in at a bit over an hour and a half. If you absolutely have to see every movie dealing with the James' Gang get it.
