Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

J. Dunn It is just a movie folks. Not a lesson in "History". It was a slick fast paced western movie. Something Hollywood rarely gives us any longer.Sit back and enjoy or change the dang channel.It is just that simple in life...

Spikeopath The legend of the James/Younger gang gets another outing in this fanciful actioner that's guaranteed to have history buffs frothing at the mouth.It very much comes off as a Western primed for the MTV generation, a young spunky cast are assembled and the action kitchen sink is thrown at the piece where ever possible. There's lashings of cool on show, some sexiness, and the prime action sequences are exciting. Yet it just comes off as soulless, something emphasised by the awful score and soundtrack.Acting is OK, particularly from Timothy Dalton as Allan Pinkerton, the man tasked with bringing down Colin Farrell's Jesse James - this whilst having a grudging respect for the outlaw - while Gabriel Macht puts some assured calmness into the role of Frank James. Elsewhere everyone else is having fun even though they be hamstrung by the script.There's hints of thought, such as the power of celebrity status and corporate greed, but these are few and far between, for this is what it is, an action film that works on that level only. 5/10

ayon62 i think this is one of the worst western movie i have ever seen.The whole story and acting were ultimately joke.JesseJames gang was seemingly very happy in the whole movie,no tension,no sorrow,no climax even touched them.When jesse's mom was killed they didn't even look like sad.Also it was not clear what their ultimate goal to rob banks randomly.When jesse renounce the gang,its seems like lack of emotions and drama.The action was like hegemony,seemed like jesse james would win forever.And the negative characters were looking so stupid that they failed to make any scary impression in the whole movie.The ending was also very funny.So, i can tell that this movie is for kids,they would enjoy it for its meaningless fighting and for no byzantine drama.

disdressed12 this isn't too bad a movie.i would say it is mildly enjoyable.it's not exactly fast paced,but it's not quite boring either.i think it would have been better as a comedy,since it was such a lite hearted movie.the acting was OK,but nothing spectacular.it's about The James/Younger gang of the old west,led by Jesse James(Colin Farrel)it's just one interpretation of James's life,and i don't think it tries too hard to be accurate.either way,it is an interesting interpretation and it has some fun moments scattered throughout.i'd probably watch again,but it's not something i would watch over and over.for me,American Outlaws is a 6/10
