Its ultimate merits may be few, but if nothing else, it stands on its own sweaty terms. Read full review

New York PostLou LumenickJan 10, 2013
The tin-earned dialogue and haphazard plotting are more reminiscent of Tarantino's frequent collaborator Robert Rodriguez. Read full review

VarietyJoe LeydonJan 10, 2013
A boisterously Tarantinoesque mash-up of cliches, archetypes and bodacious craziness in the tradition of Southern-fried '60s and '70s drive-in fodder, The Baytown Outlaws is the sort of cartoonishly violent and swaggeringly non-PC concoction that defines guilty pleasure for many genre fans.

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. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen HoldenJan 10, 2013
The Baytown Outlaws" avidly subscribes to the grindhouse aesthetic of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. 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. Read full review

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. Read full review

This schlocky piece of ultra violence plays like a pop-culture pastiche without a stable thematic foundation. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeJan 9, 2013
A barrage of unbelievable stereotypes try to kill each other in Barry Battles's dispiriting exploitation flick. Read full review

Village VoiceNick SchagerJan 8, 2013
A stew of cartoon stereotypes, violence, and "Freebird" cast in a skuzzy "Sons of Anarchy" mold. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierJan 10, 2013
Okay, y'all, the never-ending appeal of the Southern-fried crime caper for filmmakers hungry for flavor is back with The Baytown Outlaws. Only here, the drawling accents, screeching tires and sawed-off blasts that rise again don't amount to much. Read full review

The resulting mayhem and slaughter is vile and disgusting. Read full review
