I suppose the real story of Jesse James wasn't exciting enough so some Hollywood yea-hoos had to fancy it up a bit.
The first bit that caught my attention was that Jesse's mother died when their home was blown to bits. This isn't true at all, his mother was wounded, in fact, she made sure he was buried on the family farm in Kearney, Mo so she OUTLIVED him. This fact messed up the rest of the movie for me. Further, Zee married Jesse in Kentucky, not Florida.
I thought Colin Farrell was cute and portrayed the role well despite the bad writing and I thought Ali Larter was equally as charming.
I give this movie a 2/10 mostly for its embellishments. They made the film difficult to watch.
