The Newton Boys offers a unique take on the crime genre, focusing on a gang that managed to pull off heists with a surprising level of charm and minimal bloodshed. Richard Linklater, known for his character-driven narratives, gives us a film that has a laid-back yet tense atmosphere. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of humor and camaraderie to shine through amid the heist sequences. Matthew McConaughey, Ethan Hawke, and the rest of the cast deliver solid performances, bringing depth to these historical figures. What sets this film apart is its focus on planning and teamwork over violence, which gives it a different flavor compared to typical bank robbery flicks. Plus, the period details and practical effects really draw you into the 1920s setting.
