As far as action films go, "The Baytown Outlaws" is a pretty decent film. It is film about three convict brothers from Alabama who are hired by a woman to rescue her godson from her abusive ex. As the film progresses, the men who a brought in to hunt down the brothers become weirder and more violent. There was nothing that really stood out about this film: the acting was okay, the writing was fun, but stale at times, and Barry Battles' directing really tries to accomplish something, but comes off as more cartoony than artsy. Despite having great talents like Billy Bob Thornton and Andre Braugher in its ranks, "Outlaws" pushes them to the background, and focuses on the three brothers who lack the charisma to make the film more interesting. I did like the animated look into their past so much, that I wish there was more of that in the film. There wasn't. Oh well.
