Summary: An Awesome Movie
Review: American Outlaws is a terrific movie. It tells the story of Jesse James and the James-Younger gang. It isn't particularly gruesome, which is what I liked. Also, it adds a little bit of romance. Over all, I love this movie and watch it as often as I can. American Outlaws is an excellent choice!

Summary: A Fun Movie and What A Cast
Review: For the Wetern purist this isn't the film for you, but I thought it was a hoot. I first saw it on a plane returning from Lisbon. I stood up and all the women said sit down we can't see Colin. So I watched this Dubliner to see what all the fuss was about..they were right his Jesse James was great and he is so good looking. I thought I was just having another hot flash but it was looking at him. Thought everyone in the film did a good job and I love Kathy Bates. Get some Popcorn and Mild Duds and watch this one.

Summary: All in a days work
Review: I've watched western ever since I was a little girl. This one is one of the better ones that I have seen. I'm not real big on rating the looks of actors and/or actresses, but the the characters where excellent in the movie. The history of Jesse, Frank, and Jim were accurate. This is a movie that I would recommend to those who like westerns and like a little laugh.

Summary: Bad Movie!!
Review: This is one of the worst movie I've seen in a long time. It tries to be Young Guns but fails on many levels! The complete historical inaccuracy really bothered me. Especially when they had the James' mother die after a raid by the Pinkertons. In reality, the James' mother lost her arm and their retarded stepbrother died in a raid even though the James bros. had retired and were living quiet lives with their families. The James Bros then come out of retirement to rob a large northern bank to exact revenge for their mother and dead stepbrother. Now I find that much more compelling than this drivel. Sometimes the truth is more interesting than hollywood's fiction.

Summary: American Outlaws
Review: I thought this movie was good. It kept me interested, especially when "Gabriel Macht" was in a scene, (personally, I think he steels the show) but it has its other strong points as well. I thought all the young stars in this movie played their roles very well. I enjoyed the humor in it. Some of the lines are cheesy but overall, its a clean, fun movie worth watching.

Summary: Oh, the humanity!
Review: How horrible was "American Outlaws"? I pray you don't find out for yourself.This movie wants to be for Gen X'ers what "Young Guns" was for us 80's kids, but falls flat on it's face because of it's awful script. It's almost like watching a high school play without the 'talent'. I could go into the storyline like I usually do, but what's the point? The young actors are extensively easy on the eyes, but their performance leaves your cranium parched. If you catch this one on cable, so be it. But please save your money. You will be disappointed.

Summary: Excellent Western
Review: ...I realize I am late in seeing it, but it truly is the best movie I have ever seen. Finally a movie that ends happily. The actor who plays Jesse James is completely believable as Jesse. The comedy in the movie was not dry at all, finally! If you haven't seen this movie then I suggest you go see it. Trust me I know my movies people. I'm a movie freak.

Summary: A waste of money
Review: If only -0 were an option, what a way to waste a Blockbuster gift card. If you want historical INACCURACY this is a movie for you and if you just want plain incompetent movie making, then you'll have the twice the fun. Farrell is too clean cut to be considered seriously at an outlaw and this movie won't help his career any. The only saving grace is Timothy Dalton and a cameo of Kathy Bates. Oh and I guess I didn't really have to pay for this stinker. Thank goodness.

Summary: Pretty flat.
Review: American Outlaws is easy on the eyes thanks to its two gorgeous stars, Colin Farrell and Ali Larter, but your brain will be sorry...and if you expect an iota of emotional connection, you should look elsewhere. Most of American Outlaws plays like a really, really pale imitation of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. But without the cracklin' William Goldman script and the Newman/Redford star power, all is futile. Scott Caan's performance is as expressive as a thick slice of white bread and maybe half as flavourful. Farrell is charming at spots, but this screen version of Jesse James is so bland, so wholesomely American hero-like, that there's no emotional attachment to be found (discredit once again to the embarrassingly simplistic script). Larter is one of the most beautiful actresses her age and her feistiness and sex appeal are terrific (witness her small part in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and, more prominently, Final Destination), but she fits into this Western setting as oil fits in water. And to director Les Mayfield: How about giving our "hero" a hard time once in a while? When somebody gets shot in this movie, they either recover within two sequences (generally about a minute's screen time), or die peacefully. When Jesse James is captured, they give him such an easy time it's a wonder why they bother. I made it through most of this movie without having to use the search function on my DVD player, so I guess there's a vague sense of interest there. But this is an awfully weak way to segue the Western genre into the 21st Century. Hell, even Young Guns was more fun.
