After being shot three times by her ex-husband Carlos, Celeste hires the Oodie boys to hunt him down and retrieve her godson. But before long the 3 brothers find they are being hunted by just about everyone.
Billy Bob Thornton (Carlos), Eva Longoria (Celeste), Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Rob), Clayne Crawford (Brick), Travis Fimmel (McQueen), Daniel Cudmore (Lincoln), Andre Braugher (Millard), Michael Rapaport (Lucky).
The Baytown Outlaws begins by introducing us to the Oodie boys and their current line of work. The boys are soon hired by Celeste to hunt down her abusive ex-husband, who shot her 3 times, and retrieve her godson. The Oodie's quickly find the boy, and almost as quickly find they are being hunted by multiple odd characters. The remainder of the film is an action packed mix of blood, guts, and drama through the conveniently happy ending.
Acting was pretty good with Thornton delivering his usual quirky performance. Longoria was solid in a smaller role. Crawford, Fimmel, and Cudmore all did very well and appeared to work well together. Brodie-Sangster was solid in his quiet role. The remainder of the supporting cast did well.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds are good with a fairly realistic, solid feel. Action and effects were good with nice detail and fit for film. Dialogue was okay, though some accents were challenging. Sound and soundtrack are nicely done.
Overall The Baytown Outlaws is an enjoyable, nicely done if a bit quirky, crime action flick. The film moves along well and holds audience attention nicely.
With some sexuality, fairly graphic violence, and foul language, save this one for older teens and above.
