Aspires to be a Young Guns for the Eminem generation. They deserve better.

When did cowboys become teen pop idols?

I suppose the way to watch this film, if you feel compelled to watch it by some masochistic tendency you are powerless to control, is to regard it as a comedy.

A film that can best be described as the "dumb version" of Young Guns 2, American Outlaws ranks among the year's most entertainingly insipid movies.

Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)
St. Paul Pioneer Press

[Mayfield's] incompetent direction leaves the actors floundering, trying to find the point of these aimless, wayward scenes.

It fails because of a weak screenplay by Roderick Taylor and John Rogers and laden, lazy direction by Les Mayfield.

From A to Z, this is a poor man's imitation of that legendary classic, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Narrative techniques are so fundamentally flawed, choppy and uncreative that Outlaws plays like a ESPN highlights reel and not like a movie at all.

If you're not deliberately aiming for cheesy beefcake, and it happens anyway, then you're in trouble.

It makes a viewer feel like an investor in one of the banks Jesse James hit.

It's the Wild West re-visited as a galloping, formulaic date movie.

Never mind that it's already been done before and better; it's never been done this pretty.

Confusing a serving of beefcake for real chow, American Outlaws sadly symbolizes the decline of the Western.
