A hilarious, bloody, bold and explosive action-comedy. It's outrageously over the top with great Tarantinoesque dialogue, wonderfully silly characters, brutal gun-fights and wicked humor. It's brutally funny and just plain fun from start tot finish. It's not meant to be taken seriously or anything its just meant to be an enjoyable movie and that it proves to be, nothing more or less. A ridiculously entertaining action-packed joy-ride. The cast are all wonderful to watch. Billy Bob Thornton is fantastic, he's intense, very funny and just a real blast to watch. He's such a fantastic villain in this film. Andre Braugher is terrific. Eva Longoria is wonderful. Clayne Crawford, Daniel Cudmore and Travis Fimmel are just a blast of energy, humor and mayhem. They are wildly funny and exciting team. It's Smokin Ace's meets in The Way of the Gun. It's a great way to spend ninety-eight minutes on a slow day, because this movie just speeds it up. Director, Barry Battles has a great time with his material and makes it worth while. It's very cool and has some surprising character moments that make it close to great.

Good movie! It would be hard to sum up the delightful chemistry the three brothers & the film itself manage to get going but I can't help think this is the kind of thing Tarantino would have come up with had he been put in charge of 'The Dukes Of Hazzard'. Does not take itself seriously at all or try and tackle any issues like race or religion. Good quirky interesting characters on both sides. Just enough plot, character development and side story's to keep you interested but not make you feel like you wish they would just get on with it. I highly recommend seeing this film; however, this is definitely not a film for everyone. Fans of the 'B Movie' / blood splatter bullet blaring action genre will find true delight in this film.
After her ex-husband Carlos shoots Celeste three times in the gut, it's time to play dirty. In the fight for her godson, Rob, she hires three outlawed and redneck brothers to bring him back to her. But nothing can be that simple in the South. What begins as a small rescue mission rises to a southern battle royal. This odd team must shoot their way through gorgeous female assassins, Native American hunters, Federal agents, and a whole lot of metal coming after them, while protecting Celeste's innocent child.
It ain't a party until the guns come out.

Sadistically sick and trashy film of three brothers: Lincoln(Daniel Cudmore), McQueen (Travis Fimmel) and Reese (Paul Wesley) who are on the run from the law...just as as the law Sheriff Henry Millard (Andre Braugher) uses them to commit ludicrous and heinous crimes. Typical case of what comes around goes around...fast! Just after Celeste (Eva Longoria) makes the pay-off to get her handicapped god son back to her, things start to heat up on all of them. The shoot outs keep my interest throughout the film. Looking for sanity in this film was truly lost. See this ONLY if you are bored.

I don't give a shit that it isn't a good movie, I still had a good time. I recommend it, but don't expect to be wowed.

The unbelievable action kept my attention. I don't think it was funny enough to be a good action comedy like men in tights was.

great fun in a mad Tarantino-esq guns and mayhem style. Have no idea why this movie has such a low rating. Who cares what the critics think ? I thought it was hugely entertaining .

I can't believe that this movie hasn't got a higher rating. Who cares if the critics don't like it..I thought it was great fun. Completely over the top and violently trashy in a glorious Tarantino-style Deep South meets Mad Max road/bike movie.

This an excellent movie if you just want to be entertained. The action is brutal, The story is somewhat predictable but still very good. The three brothers kick some ass, Eva is smokin hot, Billy Bob's character has huge charisma, then there's the sheriff. Cool movie.

Cool fight scenes, a ton of gun scenes, tons of blood, and a lot of dying people. Total action all the way, and although the story was a bit out there and all over? I loved it. The ending? KICK ASS :)

Don't go in expecting a moving storyline, original themes, or anything that could be described using the words "realistically possible" and you'll have a good time with this one.

Not as deep as "the boondocks saints" but it will be a cult favorite as soon as the college crowd get around to it. It has what works; characters that have character, the bad in us all trying against all the forces of the world to do some good somewhere before we die, and guns, lots of guns. You will not walk away from this movie saying ; " my life has been changed forever" but you will not walk out on this movie. 1:40 minutes of my life I don't regret, which is more than I can say for most of the crap that poses as movies from Hollywood these days. Watch and have fun.

Along come the three amigos to save the day, and we're only about twenty, maybe twenty-five minutes in; however, the rest of this 90 minute swill is just non-stop laughably gratuitous blood-soaked violence. There's no more plot now, except for a few moments of redneck jokes between the brothers. The sounds we hear consist of basically punches, crunches, bangs, booms, screams, shouts, and maybe a few vehicle engines. That's not what I want to hear when I go to the movies. You heard me right, guys, "The Baytown Outlaws" made my ears hurt. And oh yes, it sucketh the mighty fat one.
Here's a movie that considers itself to be an exploitation piece, but doesn't push the limits anywhere near far enough. "The Baytown Outlaws" stars three unknown actors, Clayne Crawford, Travis Fimmel, and Daniel Cudmore; as redneck brothers: Brick, McQueen, and Lincoln Oodie. These characters define what it is to be half-wits. They are beyond stupid, almost suffering from metal retardation, but somehow these fellas are contract killers, and they are very good at it. If you're anything like me, you're already wondering why this lame plot was ever picked to bring to the big screen. There are a couple actors you'll recognize in "The Baytown Outlaws." You've got Billy Bob Thorton, whose basically playing Billy Bob Thorton, and then you've got the smoking hot Eva Longoria, who, like in everything she's ever done, isn't demonstrating anything special as far as acting goes. Longoria plays Thorton's ex-wife (fat fucking chance) while he plays a ruthless drug dealer who's kept their teenage boy from her since he was a baby. Now you see where this is going?

It's campy, but not that bad.
