Movie Review

Over the years, there have been a lot of western movies, some about cowboys, some about gunfighters, and some about bank robbers.  Usually, the main character is some always-good kind of guy who takes on some bad guys dressed in black outside a saloon. The Newton Boys is not on of these movies. In fact, it can't even really be considered an old western, since it takes place in the 1920's, and it is based on a true story. The Newton Boys is about a family of bank robbers who... rob banks. Full movie review »
