"The innocence or the darkness, which are we?" Josiah asks; Outlaws and Angels goes too heavy on the latter, to its own detriment.July 20, 2016
Unfortunately Mollner isn't able to handle intimate, quiet scenes as well as he does action set pieces or special effects shots.July 14, 2016
Virtually every character has a dark side, and every victim has it coming. That gets old, too.July 16, 2016
Francesca Eastwood does her daddy proud as the gunslinging heroine of this bloody, revenge-fueled Western more reminiscent of a Tarantino splatterflick than one of Clint's classics.July 14, 2016
It seems another member of Clint Eastwood's brood is ready for stardom.July 15, 2016
In a sea of grimy indie Westerns, especially ones that started with the same genre canvas, "Outlaws & Angels" is a thoroughly ugly example of when "Tarantino-esque" is the most generous compliment.July 14, 2016
"Outlaws and Angels" isn't perfect - Murray mumbles into his beard way too much - but Eastwood sure is at ease with a cowboy hat and revolver. Clearly, she's studied with the best.July 14, 2016
"Outlaws and Angels" can't overcome its distractingly showy camera moves or its tendency toward scenes that drag on interminably.October 24, 2016

This particular revenge tale isn't an example of incompetent filmmaking, just sadly misfocused storytelling. Life in 1887 wasn't easy, but at some point, there has to be something more to say.July 18, 2016
A nasty macabre cult Western.
