Featured review
Adequate western programmer
Famous outlaw and bank robber Jesse James is lured from his comfortable retirement in St. Joseph, Missouri, to commit one more robbery to retrieve gold from an abandoned mine in Colorado, but the affair will go wrong...
The Great Jesse James Raid isn't a bad western, it's an adequate time passer, at least once you pass the first dull ten minutes. Once the motley gang is formed, shootouts beckon and they enter the mine things pick up. Some of the acting is good such Tom Neal who looks like he could kill a rattler just by glancing at it and Willard Parker does well as a conflicted Jesse James. The dialogue can be bland at times, the pace a little laborious, but it has enough good moments to keep you watching. Maybe it would've been better if it didn't feature Jesse James and a longer running time to flesh out the plot, especially in the last fifteen minutes, to make it less slapdash.
