1986 · 120 min TV Movie Action Drama Western
5.2 / 10 · TMDB

This movie looks at the last years (not days, as implied in the title) of famous outlaws, Frank and Jesse James. The film opens in 1877 with the brothers trying to settle down after 15 years of thievery. Frank is shown to be a book-loving and family-oriented man, while brother Jesse is a money-hungry womanizer. The movie follows their lives through Jesse's death at the hands of the "rotten little coward" Bob Ford and Frank's death in 1892.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a nuanced character study, relying on the stark contrast between the two brothers to explore the weight of infamy. It's less about action and more about the quiet desperation of men trapped by their own myths.

What lingers after the credits is a poignant sense of melancholy and inevitability, a reflection on the inescapable past. — MovieFinder Editorial

With a glass of bourbon, settled in for a slow-burning character drama about legacy and fate.
