American Outlaws arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. American Outlaws moves fast and earns its action sequences rather than just delivering them. When a Midwest town learns that a corrupt railroad baron has captured the deeds to their homesteads without their knowledge, a group of young ranchers join forces to take back what is rightfully theirs. They will become the object of the biggest manhunt in the history of the Old West and, as their fame grows, so will the legend of their leader, a young outlaw by the name of Jesse James. Colin Farrell and Scott Caan lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2001. The action sequences are expensive-looking without drawing attention to their own budget — they serve the story rather than interrupting it. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

American Outlaws is the kind of thing you put on to unwind and find yourself sitting forward twenty minutes in. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Colin Farrell is the obvious draw, but the supporting cast gives the action the context it needs to land. The action holds up because the character work underneath it never lets up.
