Description:
The final days of the infamous James gang are meticulously detailed in this riveting account of the group's most daring robbery. Led by the introspective Cole Younger (Cliff Robertson) and the nearly psychotic Jesse James (Robert Duvall), the much-glorified desperadoes set their sights on the biggest bank west of the Mississippi. The gritty action and dialogue, based on documented fact, chronicles the robbery from Younger's decision to storm the seemingly impregnable depository right up to the precision-planned assault. Directed in semi-documentary style by Philip Kaufman, this taut action-adventure shows the West as it truly was … and why it will never be forgotten.

"The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid" is one of the best crafted and excellently acted films you will ever see. It is such a shame that this truly great film is so little known. This, basically, is the original "telling" of the "Long Riders" without all the "polish" of hollywood...and that is just fine for this story, which, of course, actually DID happen. A little grittier than "The Long Riders", and that TOO is also in keeping...this, after all, is NOT a pretty story, so WHY doctor it ... Read More

This depiction of the James Gang's disastrous bank job in Northfield, Minnesota is a nice companion piece to Walter Hill's depiction of the same event in THE LONG RIDERS. Here Philip Kaufman, the ever-underrated director of THE WANDERERS and the 1970s remake of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS, focuses on (and pretty much idolizes) Cole Younger (Cliff Robertson) as the "good" would-be leader of the gang, struggling against a distracted and near-psychopathic Jesse James (Robert Duvall)--but the supporting ...

If you are looking for a close historical account of the infamous Northfield, Minnesota Bank Robbery by the James-Younger Gang, this isn't it! Rent The Long Riders as it is 95% accurate as to what happened with this robbery. This movie is about 5% accurate only because the players are all present.
First, every single person involved in that robbery has been changed into an imbocile. Jim Younger having no upper lip because of getting shot is so stupid that it can only be made more so by adding ... Read More

This is one of the best movies made about the Northfield Minnesota Raid today. It features a great list of actors and follows the historical details of the the actual raid fairly well. The film has just enough Hollywood in it to make it very entertaining.

In this delightful film, Jesse James takes a back seat in the buckboard to Cole Younger who shows a real talent for fixing calliopes and robbing banks, though this one didn't turn out too well. Better let Jesse plan the next one.
