True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

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.

... Im gonna make this short. If historical inaccuracy and bad accents bother you than you will probably hate this movie. Those of us who don't have a stick up our tush, however, can enjoy a fun action flick. This is a romanticized fictional story about Jessie James and his war personal war on the railroad.This isn't like the dark and gritty westerns that all the liberal critics rave about. This wont leave you walking way considering jumping off a bridge because your so disgusted or depressed. It's a fun and exciting action movie.In reality I'd probably only give it 6 or 7 stars but I wanted to offset the 1 star reviews as much as possible.

First off I don't care if this movie doesn't represent Jesse James, or the real Jesse James at least it was the most entertaining western to come along since Tombstone. The soundtrack was great, the actors were amazingly awesome! And the humor made my day. What makes me sad is when people expect a history lesson from a movie, thats not why I go see a movie. American Outlaws is on my top five list ranking number 1 or 2 thats how good this movie was. The director did an awesome job there was so much action and just enough drama. A must see for sure, if any reviews give a bad rating because it was not the real Jesse James get over it it wasn't on the History Channel! Sorry its just I read a post that someone got angry over it not representing the real Jesse James, I actually signed up just to defend the movie. Its a really good movie and worth renting for a couple of days was one of those kind of movies that when ever there was a sale of movies I was always looking for it. : ) MUST SEE!!!

This is fun and never a "Western" in exactly the same way as "Butch Cassidy" was fun and never a "Western".Moby's music is just as anachronistic as Burt Bacharach's."American Outlaws" presents Jesse James as a "Dark Knight"if you like,a Batman but without the brooding self - pity,a superhero with a sense of fun,immortal yet vulnerable.In all likelihood of course,Mr James was a grungy amoral killer but Mr Colin Farrel plays him like a guy in a Calvin Klein ad.And do you know what?It doesn't matter.From the opening sequence when the nascent James/ Younger gang destroy half the Union Army it is plain that this is not a movie that takes itself seriously. I have never seen so many bleached teeth outside of a California Teen movie,Mr Ronny Cox as the inevitable "Doc" is particularly well - endowed in that department,although Miss Ali Larter as his daughter and Jesse's squeeze runs him close.But it's easy to be picky. There's a lot of shootin' but very little killin',much stylised balletic action and a brilliantly bad performance from Mr Timothy Dalton as the founder of the Pinkerton Detective Agency whom I believe to have been of Scottish extraction,and Mr Dalton does what I can only assume to be his level best to reflect that fact. "American Outlaws" is great entertainment in a Mouseketeer kind of way and only the grumpiest of purists will begrudge it.
