Oops...

Something went wrong.

(As Willis figures it, the bankers -- all covered by insurance -- are merely thieves themselves anyway.) A sweetly contemplative film, The Newton Boys is almost an anti-crime caper -- no one gets killed, and the violence which does occasionally erupt is handled with a light comic touch.

CRITICS OF "The Newton Boys"

Variety

A handsome production that nicely evokes the 1920s and a likeable cast headed by McConaughey can't compensate for a Western-gangster film that's too diffuse and lacks a discernibel POV to be dramatically engaging.

July 23, 2006

eFilmCritic.com

More yawn-inducing than fifty people yawning.

January 01, 2000

MovieMartyr.com

Linklater's genuine regard for his characters and fidelity to his setting are his strongest directorial traits.

March 05, 2002

Resource

Christian Science Monitor

These are fetching performers, but their built-in energy is about all The Newton Boys has going for it.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Film Journal International

There's little nuance in the straightforward, chronological way the tale is told--it's hard to point to a scene that's worth discussing after you've left the theatre.

September 09, 2002

Resource

Washington Post

As portrayed by Matthew McConaughey in his first fully satisfying screen performance, Willis Newton regards his three younger brothers and their associates as social rectifiers who take money only from the real thieves: bankers and their directors.

Like the Newtons themselves, the film never goes for the kill.

December 27, 2004

Kalamazoo Gazette

Linklater seems to understand the root of McConaughey's appeal stems from his wild side. Casting McConaughey as someone noble and high-minded... is like hiring Madonna to play a housewife.
