Trailer for the Film on YouTube:



This is a really impressive movie highlighted by the fact that the cast is comprised of four different groups of acting families ....... brothers in all: 

- Jesse James is played by James Keach and Frank James is played by Stacy Keach
- Cole Younger is played by David Carradine, while Keith Carradine plays Jim Younger and Bob Younger is played by Robert Carradine
- Ed Miller is Dennis Quaid and Clell Miller is Randy Quaid
..... and Charley Ford is played by the great Christopher Guest, while Robert Ford is played by his brother Nicholas Guest.

This is a great film with a lot of cool action scenes and has that great Walter Hill touch.  It is only 100 minutes long, but feels like an epic in the making.  Not a bad history lesson either. - Phil
