Critics Consensus: Outlaws and Angels doesn't do enough to stand out on the crowded canvas of nouveau Westerns -- doubly disappointing considering there's an Eastwood in the cast.

This particular revenge tale isn't an example of incompetent filmmaking, just sadly misfocused storytelling. Life in 1887 wasn't easy, but at some point, there has to be something more to say.
In a sea of grimy indie Westerns, especially ones that started with the same genre canvas, "Outlaws & Angels" is a thoroughly ugly example of when "Tarantino-esque" is the most generous compliment.
Virtually every character has a dark side, and every victim has it coming. That gets old, too.
"Outlaws and Angels" can't overcome its distractingly showy camera moves or its tendency toward scenes that drag on interminably.
It seems another member of Clint Eastwood's brood is ready for stardom.
"Outlaws and Angels" isn't perfect - Murray mumbles into his beard way too much - but Eastwood sure is at ease with a cowboy hat and revolver. Clearly, she's studied with the best.
"The innocence or the darkness, which are we?" Josiah asks; Outlaws and Angels goes too heavy on the latter, to its own detriment.
...a vicious portrayal of The Wild West...
... has some evocative touches considering its shoestring budget, but little compelling drama along the way.
Unfortunately Mollner isn't able to handle intimate, quiet scenes as well as he does action set pieces or special effects shots.
A nasty macabre cult Western.
Francesca Eastwood does her daddy proud as the gunslinging heroine of this bloody, revenge-fueled Western more reminiscent of a Tarantino splatterflick than one of Clint's classics.
Some bank robbers, chased by a posse, hold up with a isolated prairie family. What comes next is some heavy duty karma stuff in the most moralistic Western ever. It holds your interest some, you bet.
