...their behavior is Noel Coward-sophisticate compared to what happens when the monster strikes. A horror/sf/disaster movie loses points every time you're forced to ask yourself, "Why are they doing something so stupid?", and the answer is, "Because they're in a horror/sf/disaster movie." And if you thought that Abrams - the creator of Felicity, Alias and Lost, and the writer-director of the spiffy if underperforming Mission: Impossible III - would produce a horror movie that was not just high-concept but high-IQ - you misjudge his faithfulness to a genre requiring that, in extremis, people act in a manner...
...pernicious habit of moral sloth and validated pride. These bad habits, easily formed and even more easily justified, make our own politics more bitter, more boastful, and less humane.

The writer-director of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is the New Zealand-born Andrew Dominick. Today, as in the 60s, the Western holds more fascination for outsiders than for Americans. But if the genre is to rise from the dead one more time, the grandsons of the pioneers - the descendants of those millions of viewers who made the Western a unique contribution to popular...
