Summary: A MUST SEE fun action packed movie with comedy to boot
Review: This movie is not a documentary so don't expect it to be historically accurate. This isn't your traditional western either. It's a modern day telling of the famous outlaw Jesse James and his gang. The music goes hand in hand with the action. This is a fun popcorn movie. If want to see a movie with action and some great comedy then this is your movie. You wouldn't expect comedy in a western but it certainly does have many funny lines which adds to the movie and makes it very enjoyable to watch. Take if for what it is, an enjoyable movie that you can tell all your friends to see. The guys in the movie aren't bad to look at either and neither is Ali Larter. IT'S A GUARANTEED GOOD TIME!!!!!!

Summary: American Outlaws: Behind the Scenes
Review: I haven't actually seen the finished movie yet, but I did spend 2 weeks working on site as a reenactor (Union soldier) for the opening part of the movie. From what I saw and experienced, it has the potential to be an excellent, fast-paced movie that should be very enjoyable to watch!

Summary: BAD, VERY BAD
Review: Can somebody believe those baby face actors, look like tough cowboys? I've always seen men playing cowboys in films, not smooth-faced teens. And who had the idea to put a rap in a western movie? If Colin Farrel wants to be a good actor he musn't accept these characters, and Scott Caan is very far from be that good actor his father is. And Ali LArter? She looks like a Barbie in cowgirl disguise, it takes more than a pretty face and whipped cream bikini to be a good actress. Keeo your money in your pocket and buy one of those good old western movies, you'll see good actors and good movies with good plots. Not this nonsense.

Summary: Okay, if you can get past the modern accents and dumb girl
Review: The action scenes in this movie are GREAT. I can get past all the other stupid stuff in this movie just to watch those. I think they should have cut out the part where they come back home and chat with all their friends because that just slows down the movie, but once you get past all that, the movie just keeps you jumping in your seat. Yes, the actors' lines are kind of dumb in some parts (only SOME parts!!) and Ali Larter is not the best actress, and sometimes Colin Farrell forgets he's not supposed to be Irish in this movie and Scott Caan still sounds too much like he's not out of high school yet- but hey it's not all that bad. There's a good plot and lots of humour and good fight scenes. If you're not a super overly critical and picky person you'll find yourself a decent movie that's entertaining and has a good ending. The Special Features are great. They give you a lot of inside info into the making which is always a treat to watch after seeing a good movie. Go for it!

Summary: This is pain
Review: Oh man, this movie scarred me for good. I had to watch it in a history class, which is a complete farce, since this is about as historical as the Lord of the Rings. To make matters worse, the movie is awful. The frequent attempts at humor are totally abysmal, and you can see the actors' embarrassment. What is this anyways? A Western for adolescent girls? What are a bunch of hairless pretty boy actors doing portraying wild hoodlums? What's with the pointless, gratuitous romance? What is this crap? Where are Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef when you need them? Unless you're an adolescent with an IQ between 30 and 90, avoid this at all costs.

Summary: COLIN GOES WEST
Review: The incredibly gifted Colin Farrell once again pulls a good one: an Irishman playing Jesse James. But give the guy credit: he does a very good job, although not up to par to some of his other work (Recruit, Hart's War, Tigerland). Obviously not a fact-based work, AMERICAN OUTLAWS, under the astute direction of Les Mayfield, nonetheless is an entertaining western, filled with anachronistic dialogue and music, but also filled with heart, humor and adventure in mind. In this version, Jesse and his brother Frank (well envisioned by Gabriel Macht) and his cousins, the Youngers (Scott Caan, Will McCormack and Gregory Smith) are fighting in the Civil War where we get to see Frank's expert shooting and Jesse's wildass courage and outright idiocy! The war is now over so everyone returns home to find that the railroad companies are forcing farmers to sell them their land. Kathy Bates in a brief but memorable turn plays the James mother, and when she is killed by Pinkerton detectives, the boys take matters into their own.
Wayfield plays the gang as a Robin Hood, with typical jealousy on the part of Caan's Cole Younger. Timothy Dalton as Pinkerton seems James Bondish in his delivery and Harris Yulin pumps up the ham to play the dastardly railroad owner.
All in all, the film is as entertaining as it needs to be and even though Jesse and gang are almost beatified, they still have a little of that bad boy in them to make it believable, even though it's not!!!

Summary: Shameless yet entertaining glorification of outlaws.
Review: If you want an absolute shameless glorification of Jesse James, his brother and associates with some great action sequences thrown in then this is for you. To me it's a bit silly and is pretty 'hollywooded' up but it is entertaining for what it is. The music is really awful in a couple spots but overall it has a pretty good soundtrack. If you just want to dismiss reality and watch some shooting and explosions for awhile then this is it ;)
