The Newton Boys
The Started Out Dirt Poor - And Ended Up Filthy Rich!
It seems the only way The Newton Boys can make good is by goin' bad! Faster than you can say "nitroglycerine," they've knocked over more than 80 banks from Texas to Canada. Now their sights are set on a multimillion-dollar Federal Reserve train robbery, but the Feds are about to turn up the heat. . .

Boring - Madamx28
I absolutely hated this movie, I got halfway through and gave up on it. I found it boring and lacking in any real storyline. I really don't have much to say about it except this is the only movie I have ever just given up on in the middle of watching. Definitely not for me but perhaps you'll like it better.The Newton Boys - TwoBoggySwampers
This is a fun, well paced movie with a topnotch cast. The acting is superb and the story is quite intriguing - especially with knowing that it is based on actual events. It's one of those movies where you find yourself cheering for the "bad guys". The story is all about a group of brothers (along with a few of their acquaintances) that set out to rob as many banks as possible. They stop at nothing and find themselves travelling all over the U.S., down as far as Mexico, and up to Canada. When bank robbing becomes mundane, they decide to go for bigger and better robberies with higher payouts. Eventually, their greed catches up to them and they start to make bad decisions which turn into terrible mistakes. This is a great adventure movie and comes recommended. If you stick around for a few moments after the show when the credits are rolling, you get to see small clips of a couple of the actual brothers (in more recent years) telling bits and pieces of their story.not as good as the sum of its parts - TMFan1
With such a talented, innovative director and stellar cast including one of my favourites, Ethan Hawke, this movie should have been much better than it is. It's predictable, run of the mill, and often boring. Check out Linklater's other work: Tape, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset,
