thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, mas o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e mais relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review Jelisije J A movie that had no real stakes and was so light hearted that I had to keep reminding myself that this was a movie about a family of bank robbers who never killed anybody during their entire run of robbing banks. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The Newton Boys had it all Based on true events this focuses on the most successful bank robbers during the 1920s and on the 1994 book by Claude Stanush An all-star cast of Matthew McConaughey, Ethan Hawke, Dwight Yokam, Skeet Ulrich, Julianna Margulies, and Vincent D'Onofrio directed by the renowned Richard Linklater Willis the main lead lands in jail due to a miscarriage of justice so he feels the only way to climb the social ladder is by having monetary means The titular brothers embarked on a crime spree across the nation into Canada The thing is they only do their activities at night to avoid casualties I thought this was fine This is a very silent movie; lots of quiet moments The story is frustratingly short on dramatic tension But they left behind a big legacy as far as criminals go; they survived the largest train robbery making it to a ripe old age---almost what no other outlaws have done in history This is flawed but well presented with these men posting themselves as social rectifiers Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Obviously embellished but sticks to the grit of the era. A surprise clutch performance by Dwight Yoakam as well. The small ensemble cast keeps you engaged in charm and drama. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review camille l Aussi sympathique que Richard Linklater veuille les faire passer (ce qu'ils étaient sûrement comme le démontre les images d'archives pendant les crédits) à l'image de son film, les Newton Boys ne méritaient peut-être pas un film de deux longues heures. En effet, ce film de braquages manque malheureusement de braquages et surtout d'une structure logique, qui fait disparaître bon nombre de personnages pour les retrouver de longues scènes plus tard, sans véritable intérêt. C'est dommage pour le quatuor principal, dont Ethan Hawke se sort sans véritable effort grâce à son charisme naturel et sa faculté à jouer toutes sortes de rôles. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie, great actors & it's based on a true story! What more can you ask for!
