Supelice Dreadfully Boring

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

filippaberry84 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.

TheUniquePerception This movie is a leap ahead for the modern outlaw genre. It felt a little like Pulp Fiction blended with Kill Bill and Smoking Aces.The headliners are listed as Billy Bob and Eva, but their roles are secondary as are their performances. The three country brothers steal the show. One redneck brother is played by Travis Fimmel, who also excels in the lead role in Vikings.The opening and end credits are both superior work. I could watch the opening credits over and over as they are extremely creative. Several times during the movie I found myself laughing out loud unexpectedly. This was achieved through carefully planned moments between the action. It was a nice mental palate cleansing that prepared the audience for more excitement.The trio of hardened brothers fighting against the world is also similar to the theme in Lawless which is another great work of art. After seeing Baytown Outlaws, I expect a decade of strong performances by Travis Fimmel.

Reno Rangan It appears I'm watching quite a lot those scripts that featured on the blacklist films. I understand why the filmmakers hesitated to take up this project. Not that it is a bad one, but the script is not a fresh. It was a decent road-action movie, awesome characters, stunts, but a bit similar to 'The Boondock Saints'. Also a part of 'Dexter' was in it.It was so fun to watch, about the three men who take up a job to rescue an innocent boy from the drug lord. The trio think the job is done, but the assassins pursued them for the payback. The rest of the film takes place on the road with some great battles and exchange bullets between the gangs.It could be a good flick for a non-action film fans, but if you are an action movie fan then it is a same crap that you might have seen hundreds of times in other flicks. The villains were so weak, but the stunts were not. Especially women assassins were hyped too much and lets us down at the same pace.Billy Bob Thornton was in a powerful negative role and he did not appear in any action sequences which is a big disappointment. He just looked like a barking dog, that's all. The reason was, to avoid overlapping with other similar movies. In that case, this film was completely borrowed from different flick and assembled here with a set of new cast and locations. But I enjoyed it, and also not fully satisfied. Very interesting ending, lets wait and see if there is a sequel for it.6½/10

LeonLouisRicci It's Deja Vu All Over Again as Today these DTV Trash Movies are just Like the Fodder for Drive-Ins and Grindhouses of a Bygone Era. A Mainstream Movie (pick a Tarantino) has Success and then Roger Corman and His Ilk would Rush Off and in a Day or Two would Send Off Send Ups and Make a Quick Buck.Welcome to the new Millennium. So here We have a Repeat of the Aforementioned Formula. These Opportunist are Riffing Tarantino who has made a Career of Riffing. This is a Not Bad Piece of Work with Southern White Trash as the Anti-Heroes, with a Black Southern Corrupt Cop so No Rants of Reverse-Racism can be Taken Seriously.Of Course, Nothing in this B-Movie is to be Taken Seriously. It is All Played for Laughs and Thrills. Whether You Find it Funny or Thrilling will Absolutely Depend on Your Tendencies, Taste (or lack there of), and Tolerance for Low-Brow, Sophomoric Movies that are In Your Face and Love Every Minute of it.This is an Above Average DTV that Delivers Enough of its Intent and while Not Great Filmmaking or Writing is Entertaining and its Offensiveness is Well Handled and Even Charming at Times. Definitely Worth a Watch for Fans of Exploitation Cinema, Low-Budget Rip-Offs, Filthy Characters (with hearts of gold) that Revel in and are Proud to be Called "The Great Unwashed".

rockoforza With inspiration from flicks like The Warriors (where tough teenage gang members kill their way across New York to get back to their home turf) to The Boondock Saints (good boy assassins that only kill bad guys) to Smokin' Aces (teams of themed hit men and women,) this movie touches all the bases in a story about 3 redneck brothers that a bent sheriff uses to kill scumbags before they can commit crimes. When they take a side job snatching a special needs kid from his dirtbag father in order to return him to his mother, they wind up carving a swath of murder and mayhem across the South.Meet the Oodie Brothers. Brick is the oldest, the image of his murderous pappy Johnny Boy Oodie who terrorized the county until the law dropped him. Played by Clayne Crawford, a familiar face from many TV cop shows and the hit film Swimfan, Brick is the brains (only a figure of speech here) of the clan. His younger brother, the prankster McQueen, is played by Travis Fimmel, who recently was the star of the TV hit Vikings, as well as a number of other action movies. Finally, brother Lincoln, played by Daniel Cudmore, Colossus in the X-Men movies, had been a professional wrestler responsible for 7 deaths in the ring. All 3 brothers are awesome physical specimens (a loaded barbell and weight bench are prominently displayed outside their cabin.) Brick and Travis are ripped, defined to the max, and traced over with hillbilly tattoos. At 6'6, Lincoln is totally jacked and, in case we doubted his deadly abilities, a flashback shows him gleefully taking the lives of his backwoods opponents in the ring.The movie opens with the Oodies raiding a house where some latino gangbangers are holed up. In an orgy of gun play and coldblooded killing, the Oodie brothers take out a half dozen badasses, starting by shooting one vato in the eye as he peers through door's spy hole. Just another assignment from the Sheriff (Andre Braugher) who pays the boys to take out the trash. Enter Celeste (Eva Longoria) who offers Brick $25,000 to bring back her son Rob from his drug dealing father Carlos (Billy Bob Thornton with a soul patch.) Eva's curves and the money are irresistible and before you know it, the boys are crashing Carlos's home and, after executing Carlo's hired muscle, hightailing it home with Rob.Carlos begins to send out teams of assassins to stop the brothers and re-capture Rob. When the boys stop at a roadhouse, they encounter a bevy of seductive biker chicks and before they know it, the girls are climbing all over them. Shirts come off, lap dances commence and the boys are no longer thinking with the right head. Of course, what they don't know is that these ladies are a team of hooker assassins just waiting till the brothers are fully relaxed before making their move. One babe kneels before Brick, slowly removing his belt while licking his 6-pack abs, McQueen's eyes close in ecstasy while his lap dance reaches a climax and big Lincoln cradles a gorgeous fox's head while swapping tongues. When the hooker loops Brick's belt around his neck, the redneck grins with kinky pleasure, but when she suddenly pulls it tight he knows what's up (he's not the brains for nothing.) A shouted warning to his brothers is all it takes for them to go from lovemaking into kill mode. Each girl is dispatched in quick order with Lincoln finishing his soulful kiss by snapping his partner's neck.Two more crews are sent to stop the boys. A posse of muscular black street thugs ambush them on the road, each one of them bare chested and oiled up like bodybuilders. Brick and McQueen shoot some and Lincoln uses his bare hands to take out the rest. A tribe of murderous Indians comes next and, though the Indians are sent to the happy hunting ground, the final conflict leaves all 3 boys badly wounded. In a somewhat hokey ending, the Sheriff arrives to rescue them, Rob is returned to his mother (during the odyssey, the brothers have bonded with him) and Carlos receives his just desserts.A epilogue fast forwards to all three brothers getting out of prison, looking fit and ready for some new adventures. Clearly a sequel is in the works.
