This is action packed and funny at the same time. The actors are great (Billy Bob having as much fun as he possibly can) and the movie is just great fun. If you'd compare it to a recent movie it'd be "Savages" I guess (though that goes a bit more style and a little bit less fun). On the other hand, it delivers the fun a movie like "Iron Fists" promised but never fully delivered (through the teen fantasy filter this might look a bit different I guess).

There is blood and action and the movie also has some nice bit players (be it Michael Rappaport back from the 90s) or Zoe Bell and her Crew (including one very mesmerizing Serinda Swan!). This is so much fun, I gave it an extra point/star for sheer adrenalin rush! The ending could be considered a bit of a downfall, but I wouldn't call it that

For some reason I had been keeping putting this movie off, as I didn't expect it to be much fun. Boy was I wrong. This movie is quite awesome. This is an adrenaline-filled, testosterone-dripping man's movie.

The story in "The Baytown Outlaws" is about the Oodie brothers who do dirty and shady jobs for cash. And when they take on the job of reclaiming a boy they might have bitten off more than they could chew...

"The Baytown Outlaws" is entertaining in every sense of the word. The storyline is good and has a good, continual flow to the storyline. And the situation evolves nicely as the Oodie brothers get further and further in over their heads.

But the cast they had for the movie was really pulling their load and weight of the movie. Clayne Crawford, Travis Fimmel and Daniel Cudmore did really good jobs as the Oodie brothers (Brick, McQueen and Lincoln, respectively). But also a thumbs up to Thomas Brodie-Sangster for his portrayal of Rob, that was just great. I will say that I am usually not much of a fan of Billy Bob Thornton and his soul patch, but he was quite good in the role of the drug dealing boss.

As for the characters in the movie, well strap yourself in for a treat, because there were spared no expense in the department of fleshing out and detailing characters. Especially the Oodie brothers, they were just a heap of entertainment in themselves. But also Carlos, his temper and attitude was just plain fun to behold.

There is a unique touch to the movie, and I can't really put my finger on it, but I think it is a combination of the acting, the storyline, the gritty feel of the movie and the camera-work all put together.

"The Baytown Outlaws" really surprised me and it was good entertainment from start to end. This movie can warmly be recommended if you are looking for about 98 minutes worth of great entertainment.

The Oodie brothers are three redneck hitmen living near Montgomery Alabama. They are in cahoots with the local sheriff (Andre Braugher). When Celeste (Eva Longoria) offers them $25,000 to retrieve her godson (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) from crime boss Carlos (Billy Bob Thornton) they free lance.

The boys are Brick, the leader (Clayne Crawford); McQueen, nearly illiterate (Travis Fimmel) and Lincoln aka The Dixie Reaper (Daniel Cudmore). Carlos is the "Wal- Mart of crime." Once the godson is taken, he sends out gangs to retrieve him, including a gang of biker prostitutes. Meanwhile the sheriff is being hounded by a "Yankee ATF" (Paul Wesley) who is putting the pieces together.

This is a great shoot 'em grindhouse film. If you are not a grindhouse action fan, then don't bother with this film. This production includes colorful characters, a great soundtrack, and an improbable plot...everything we want in a grindhouse except Danny Trejo.
