Review of American Outlaws (2001) by Oxana . — 09 Dec 2009

I remember I really liked this movie when I first saw it. The second time, I really missed a little more depth into things.

Other than that: a perfect movie! It puts you into a fine, jolly mood with its light, almost funny air. Somewhat heavy issues are dealt with smiling faces and polite words. Things might be bad, but they aren't THAT bad, it seems.

The actors are good (although after watching "Heroes" for three years, I just can't place Ali Larter into another role. Sorry.). Although the acting isn't brilliant, it is just as light and carefree as the rest of the movie. Not that it really makes this a bad film. Oh no.

So, what happens when bad rail road builders try to take the lands of the people by force, and a group of young, reckless men fresh from the war decide they won't put up with it? They become local heroes, stealing Robing Hood -style from the "evil" guys and giving back to the community.

While one might think that's a horrible movie with no point or depth, I still think it's witty and worth a watch or two.
