The Newton Boys Reviews

As portrayed by Matthew McConaughey in his first fully satisfying screen performance, Willis Newton regards his three younger brothers and their associates as social rectifiers who take money only from the real thieves: bankers and their directors.

A handsome production that nicely evokes the 1920s and a likeable cast headed by McConaughey can't compensate for a Western-gangster film that's too diffuse and lacks a discernibel POV to be dramatically engaging.

We're hanging out with them more than we're being told a story. There are a lot of conversations about the profession of bank robbery -- which, as a topic for conversation, is not a whole lot more interesting than double-entry bookkeeping.
