Review of American Outlaws (2001) by Amy J — 06 Dec 2011
I love to hate this movie. The casting is pretty good (God knows I'd watch Colin Farrell recite the alphabet!) and the script didn't bother me too much... until I remembered that it was supposed to be based on Jesse James and the boys.
I grew up in Missouri and let me tell you, Jesse must have been rolling in his grave. The "facts" of the movie are so screwed up that they might as well have changed the names to Fred and Barney.
Still, if it interests one kid in learning about the real James-Younger gang, then so be it. It's not like they'll learn any of that in school.
