I kind of f*****g loved it, all things considered.

While stipulating that at its core it's fairly slight, and also constructed of prefabricated parts, this is a deeply but pleasantly weird sort of Southern Gothic battle royale.

Filmmakers who want to out-Tarantino writer-director Quentin Tarantino had best back off.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 1, 2013

There's nothing wrong with tipping one's cap to one's influences, but in no case does this loud, crude and derivative film ever raise the bar. In fact, it actually lowers it.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 1, 2013

A little too slick to be the next great action film and not funny enough to be dark comedy, this over produced bullet fest barely keeps going for its 98 minutes.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 16, 2013

Action flick has high body count, big guns, little point.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 15, 2013

Style trumps substance in this ultraviolent revenge thriller.

Full Review | Jan 14, 2013

This ode to Tarantino, 'Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!,' and Jerry Lewis marathons is deliriously silly, frenetically violent, and insanely entertaining, especially for those who prefer 'Mad Max' over 'The Rules of the Game.'

The performances are solid, but more often than not it feels like the characters are all acting, shooting and stabbing in a vacuum.

Full Review | Original Score: 6.3/10 | Jan 11, 2013

[Contains] tin-earned dialogue and haphazard plotting ...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 11, 2013

A boisterously Tarantinoesque mash-up of cliches, archetypes and bodacious craziness in the tradition of Southern-fried '60s and '70s drive-in fodder.

If it has the right spit-in-your-face attitude, it has neither the stamina nor the wit to go the distance, although it makes it about two-thirds of the way.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 10, 2013

Although artistically slight and thematically haphazard, it's enjoyably flashy.

Full Review | Jan 10, 2013

Director Barry Battles seems to believe his three grubby main characters are more charming than they are.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 10, 2013

A movie that some moviegoers can justify as a guilty pleasure. I'll certainly admit to being embarrassed at just how entertained I was.

Full Review | Jan 9, 2013

It's unclear what drew the likes of Billy Bob Thornton, Eva Longoria and Andre Braugher to this tepid grindhouse retread, but at least they liven up the proceedings whenever they're onscreen. Unfortunately, that's not all that often.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 9, 2013

In all seriousness, I'm not sure whether to recommend "The Baytown Outlaws" as a guns 'n' glory time-waster or warn you off it as a piece of mendacious trash. So I'll do both.

For those who like their cinematic rides fast, furious and unencumbered by too much brain matter, this would-be Tarantino-esque redneck piece of rowdiness may entertain.

Full Review | Jan 9, 2013

A barrage of unbelievable stereotypes try to kill each other in Barry Battles's dispiriting exploitation flick.
