I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Absolutely Brilliant!

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

OUTLAWS AND ANGELS is a recent western that seems to have been inspired by Tarantino's THE HATEFUL EIGHT. Like that film, the setting is a single building where a God-fearing family are assailed by a group of bandits with murder and more in mind. A film like this only succeeds if the script is a real zinger, but sadly the script here is pedestrian at best. It goes for a psychological approach with a number of character intricacies and sexual aspects, but it feels trite and pseudo-intellectual as a result. There's no suspense of any kind and some stark moments of shocking violence don't amount to much. The whole thing is also way overlong. The film is full of familiar faces but only Francesca Eastwood really stands out; the rest seem bored by the whole experience.

It's 1887 Cuchillo, New Mexico. Masked men escape after a bank robbery. There's a bounty on them for killing a well connected man. The leader Henry (Chad Michael Murray) ruthlessly kills an elderly couple after being told the news of the bounty. They are pursued by Josiah (Luke Wilson) and his posse. Henry and the remaining two barge in on George Tildon and his family on their homestead.This is drawing inspiration from the harsher exploitation elements with the western genre. It's doing too much hand-held and panning around. I'm not sure Wilson and Murray fit in this more brutal movie. They are too Hollywood with a certain personality. I keep thinking a Tarantino would infuse this with better dialogue and more intense thrills. He would have elevated the tension when they are staying in that cabin. It drags on and on despite the wild revelations. It's trying for a lot of things but it's not fully satisfying. There is value in trying but it keeps missing. I question why they don't kill George right from the start. He's a big guy who seems dangerous in a hand to hand fight. This movie tries hard at times but keeps playing a flat note.

This is an absolutely terrible movie which surprises me beings Clint Eastwood daughter is one of the main characters & if this movie is to showcase or debut Clint Eastwood daughters acting then it failed because her acting in this movie is terrible. She would have been better off if she wanted to act in a country & western movie to do so in one that her father produced & or directed. If I'm not awake for the end of the movie beings it is that bad I hope the outlaws & Clint Eastwood daughter character all die in the end.

OK, It is, shall I say, a very eclectic movie. I keep coming back to this movie and once I got over the graphic nature shown throughout, I begin to see it as a real gem. Francesca Eastwood is absolutely incredible. What is it about her that is so fascinating? Beside really good acting? The score is way out in "left field" but, I really like it now. I also like how it was shot and the colour grading too. Both fairly traditional for a Western. Arriflex 435. Cult movie? it may very well be!
