But the restless Jesse is putting together a new gang made up of second-rate gangsters, which includes young Bob (Casey Affleck) who has collected Jesse James clippings and stories since he was a small boy and idolized Jesse. Another problem that Jesse has is that there is a large bounty on him, dead or alive. As time passes, Bob becomes jealous of Jesse and with the reward he could receive, he decides to kill Jesse, which he does. An interesting study of the two men that is based on Ron Hansen's historical novel of the same name. The film received two Academy Award nominations including Best Supporting Actor (Affleck).

  Really enjoyed seeing James Spader's comedic talents. Michael Caine and Maggie Smith were priceless. I can't figure out why this went to TV when it was filmed for the Theater? It's really not the bomb some people think it is.

  Dangerous spy Gabriel Shear (John Travolta) and his partner Ginger Knowles (Halle Berry) use the services of master computer hacker Stanley Jobson (Hugh Jackman) for a $9.5 billion electronic bank heist. Gabriel heads up the covert counter-terrorists, the Black Cell, and he wants the money in order to pay for his war against international terrorism. Stanley has been paroled from prison but is forbidden from entering electronics stores after infiltrating the F.B.I.'s surveillance operations. Stanley agrees to help because it will provide the legal fees he needs to see his daughter Holly (Camryn Grimes) and, too late, realizes how dangerous the Black Cell is and that he is simply a pawn in the operation.
