Editorial Review: Description: It seems the only way "The Newton Boys" can make good is by goin' bad! Faster than you can say "nitroglycerin," they've knocked over more than 80 banks from Texas to Canada. Now their sights are set on a multimillion-dollar Federal Reserve train robbery, but the Feds are about to turn up the heat! Amazon.com: The Newton Boys were the most successful bank robbers in the history of the United States. They never killed anyone, never snitched, and only robbed banks (just bigger thieves, in their opinion), until their final deal, which was a botched train robbery for $3 million. Engagingly played by Matthew McConaughey, Ethan Hawke, Skeet Ulrich, and Vincent D'Onofrio, the Boys don't have the kind of flaws of more brutal criminals that make for more volatile dramas. The film ambles along in a leisurely way to tell its story of the Newtons' bank-robbing career, with an ever-present air of reverent Americana. This may make some viewers impatient, and cause a glow in others. It seems like a departure for director Richard Linklater (Slacker, Dazed and Confused)--a costumer to be sure, but Linklater's deliberately amiable pace perfectly balances the Boys' personalities. You may wander into this movie and feel right at home. The golden-hued cinematography of Peter James (Driving Miss Daisy) adds a level of comfort that makes everything warm-like. The end credits intercut archival footage of two of the real-life Newton boys toward the end of their lives, one from a 1980 appearance with Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show. --Jim Gay Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Matthew's best movie.This is the best movie he ever made along with Fraility. They get the least attention, for some unknown reason. I love it and have watched it many times. His performance, along with the other stars, is absolutely outstanding. Rating: - A little slow at times, but overall a very good movieIt's hard to make a successful movie based upon real people and true situations. But this movie does an admirable job of it. I'd forgotten all about the Newton Boys until I saw this movie recently (just loved the interviews played during the credits, definitely added to the entire movie). Very good acting by all key players. Loved the music from that era. Rating: - No gravitation for these Newtons but a lot of ethical levitationThe film is very banal. Bank robbers and postal train robbers, déjà vu, blasé, passé. Nothing particularly interesting or exciting. Yet the film has a slight flaw that makes it maybe of some interest. These bank robbers and postal train robbers survived the whole business in 1924, got through the trial with rather light sentences and they most of them died of old age fifty or so years later after giving, for some of them, some TV interviews about that profession of their young age. Then that ... Read More Rating: - fun for all agesI liked that this movie is based on true story. The best part is at the end during the interview. Rating:  - A light and almost comical twist on the western...`The Newton Boys' is not your typical western. Running more in the lines of `American Outlaws' then say `Unforgiven', `The Newton Boys' is in all respects a `fun film'. It doesn't take itself too seriously. It jokes around and rests heavy on comedic timing and a loud atmosphere. The cast is young and fresh as apposed to mature and polished. They are the `it' boys of the given year, cast to draw in a slew of teen viewers and boost ticket sales. This is not an adult drama but more like a teen ...
