Plots(1)
To corrupt railroad barons, Jesse James and Cole Younger are meddlers, troublemakers, ingrates and candidates for rope neckties. To the downtrodden folks in and around Liberty, Missouri, they're something far different. Heroes. Jess, Cole and their rough-and-ready gang ride to the rescue of farmers terrorized by a railroad's land-grab scheme in American Outlaws, a dust-and-thunder update of Western lore starring Colin Farrell (Tigerland) as charismatic fiery Cole and Ali Larter (Final Destination) as Jesse's gutsy wife Zee. If I were to design the perfect outlaw band, Detective Allan Pinkerton (Timothy Dalton) says, this gang is what I would create. He may not have created it. But he sure has his hands full dealing with it. (Miramax Films)

Western, horses, plain, Colin Farrell... and also Moby. From the very beginning, it is clear that we will go towards jokes, love, good hearts, and comfort. And everything works, it's just that in the end, everything is half-hearted. Each scene unfolds on its own, nothing gets messed up, so there is nothing to unravel. Definitely not offensive, but with a little extra push at the end, the outlaws could shoot much further.

I have seen so many better films labelled western comedy that this one gets lost among them. It's not bad and it does the job, perhaps, but the story itself is so stale, uninteresting and emotionally cold that it doesn't deserve a higher rating.
