This is probably my least favorite episode. I lived in Cape Girardeau for quite some time. I can tell you there is no ocean or shrimp boats, fresh crab or scallops anywhere near Missouri. Cape Girardeau is the only inland Cape, it's on the Mississippi River. It looked like the license plates were from Mississippi, which may explain why there was so much racial tension. Missouri and Mississippi are 2 completely different states that don't touch one another. There are many roads in and out of town and none of them are Route 6 or Route 666. This whole inaccuracy was very distracting. Also, Cassie did not seem like someone who would want to hang around Dean if she was well educated. I did not buy them as a couple and didn't enjoy the lengthy love scene. Jo was more Dean's style.

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.
