Robert M "American Outlaws" (2023) is a surprisingly compelling crime drama that manages to transcend its indie roots, delivering a gripping and well-crafted story of sibling loyalty pushed to its limits. Director Sean McEwen has done a commendable job in bringing the true story of the Dougherty Gang to the screen, focusing on the intense bond between the three siblings as they embark on a cross-country crime spree. What truly elevates the film is its ability to create a sense of authenticity and palpable tension throughout. The cinematography is particularly noteworthy, with close-up camera angles that effectively heighten the action during car chases and shoot-outs, making it feel far grander than its budget might suggest. The cast, especially India Eisley, Emory Cohen, and Sam Strike, deliver committed performances that make their characters' desperate choices understandable, even as their actions become increasingly reckless. While the film doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of their criminal escapades, it maintains a focus on the unwavering commitment they have to one another. "American Outlaws" is a testament to resourceful filmmaking, proving that a compelling narrative and strong performances can overcome any budgetary constraints, resulting in a thrilling and engaging cinematic experience. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/25/25 Full Review DMC M I don't think it's the worst movie I ever watched but I really felt there were too many holes in the storyline overall. What was going on in their childhood that was so horrifying? Am I supposed to just assume one thing or another? They never said. Could have been better.

Really was hoping for it to be good. The script was too big for the actors, the dialogue came across as a mouth full and forced, didn't feel like it portrayed the characters correctly. Really wanted it to be good. Could have been a great movie but just didn't quite hit the mark. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Fred Really solid and well made thriller with action elements. Interesting themes about the decay of the American way of life - at least that's how I interpreted it. The strongest aspect was the tight pacing and the performances. Great - albeit unknown - actors. Really good movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/04/23 Full Review jeff j This movie is absolutely awful. How anybody got a dime to make this horrible piece of crap is a miracle. The reviews here are either all fake, or this is the first movie they've ever seen and have no frame of reference. It was so overwritten with insipid dialogue that consisted of lame speech after lame speech. The only good thing about this movie was the sister getting railed at the car dealership (even though the scene made absolutely no sense whatsoever) and the crow call at the end when they were apprehended. I laughed so hard I almost puked. Don't watch this movie. Ever. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
