Austin Chronicle -
What The Newton Boys lacks in dramatic definition, it more than compensates for with its underlying intelligence and visual luster.
|
|
|
ReelViews -
A fast-paced, entertaining motion picture that replaces gritty tension with a lightly-dramatic character interaction that occasionally borders on straight comedy.
|
|
|
Film Threat -
Linklater reaches for the sky with this film, but the result is mixed.

|
The New York Times -
If Mr. Linklater is not entirely at ease with action sequences (or with the obligatory having-fun montage once the brothers become successful), he still makes this (after ''Before Sunrise'' and ''Suburbia'') another admirable directorial stretch.

Variety -
An extremely handsome production that meticulously evokes the 1920s, and a likable male-dominated cast, headed by Matthew McConaughey in his best screen performance to date, only partially compensate for a story that's too diffuse and lacks a discernible point of view that would make it dramatically engaging.
