This crime drama follows the four Newton brothers (Matthew McConaughey, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D’Onofrio and Skeet Ulrich) as they bank-robbed their way across the U.S. and Canada during the 1920s. They knew how to handle nitroglycerine and worked mostly at night, blowing up safes to steal insured money from banks. The Newtons considered themselves businessmen, and worked under a simple code – no killing, no stealing from women and children, and no snitching. They managed to complete their criminal careers without shooting anyone except one of their brothers, by accident!

It had a good cast, but somehow this aging western just did not sizzle. The fact that it is a true story did nothing to make it interesting. Bank robber westerns are great when you have hosses chasing each other, sixgun action and a classic showdown.
