Product Description

Product Description

It seems the only way "The Newton Boys" can make good is by goin' bad! Faster than you can say "nitroglycerin," 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!

Amazon.com

The Newton Boys were the most successful bank robbers in the history of the United States. They never killed anyone, never snitched, and only robbed banks (just bigger thieves, in their opinion), until their final deal, which was a botched train robbery for $3 million. Engagingly played by Matthew McConaughey, Ethan Hawke, Skeet Ulrich, and Vincent D'Onofrio, the Boys don't have the kind of flaws of more brutal criminals that make for more volatile dramas. The film ambles along in a leisurely way to tell its story of the Newtons' bank-robbing career, with an ever-present air of reverent Americana. This may make some viewers impatient, and cause a glow in others. It seems like a departure for director Richard Linklater (Slacker, Dazed and Confused)--a costumer to be sure, but Linklater's deliberately amiable pace perfectly balances the Boys' personalities. You may wander into this movie and feel right at home. The golden-hued cinematography of Peter James (Driving Miss Daisy) adds a level of comfort that makes everything warm-like. The end credits intercut archival footage of two of the real-life Newton boys toward the end of their lives, one from a 1980 appearance with Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show. --Jim Gay

A thrill of a film. A rags to riches story. Four brothers team up to make history....in robbery. You wind up rooting for them. McConaughey, Hawke, Ulrich and D'Onofrio are fabulous.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Guter Film über eine wahre Gangstergeschichte
    Reviewed in Germany on September 14, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Die 1998 entstandene Verfilmung "Die Newton Boys" erzählt die wahre Geschichte der Gebrüder Newton, die, gefesselt an ein perspektivloses Leben als Farmersöhne, in den 1920er Jahren im mittleren Westen der USA gut 80 Banken sowie einen Postzug überfielen und damit einen etwas makabren Rekord als Bankenknacker in den USA aufgestellt haben.

    Die filmische Übersetzung ist solide, auch mit einigen Lachern versehen, ausgefallen, die prominente Besetzung (darunter Matthew McConaughey als Gehirn der Bande Willis Newton, Ethan Hawke als Jess Newton, Skeet Ulrich als Joe Newton und Julianna Margulies als Willis Newtons Gefährtin Louise Brown) verleiht dem Film einen gewissen Glanz und die beachtliche Ausstattung ist durchaus in der Lage die behandelte Dekade wieder aufleben zu lassen.

    Bild und Ton sind in Ordnung, Extras gibt es nicht.

    Der Gesamteindruck reicht zwar nicht ganz für die volle Sternzahl, aber dennoch sind die "Newton Boys" vor allem wegen der doch unterhaltsamen und amüsanten Story eine Art nicht zu verachtender Geheimtipp für allgemein historisch oder an Gangsterfilmen interessierte Zuschauer, der sicherlich im Gedächtnis haften bleibt.
