Sancho Gracia as Holden (the bad guy)

A bunch of former outlaws (Willie, Kris, Tritt) are bent on revenge when one of their former "business associates" (Jennings)
is murdered by another outlaw, Holden (Sancho Gracia). They extract their own version of justice when Holden lures them below the border, with hopes of causing their deaths.

I don't know why the "R" rating. The violence was almost non-existent, no bad language, and no nudity or anything you would be ashamed for your mother or children to see.

Only Tritt and Willie sang in the film, and the motivation of Holden was ill-defined. Altogether a poorly motivated plot, with the cast providing the backbone of the film. They did their parts well, making it an adequate Western to watch and kill some time, thanks to them. Not a great film, or particularlt memorable.

I am always impressed by Kris and Willie when they team up. Kris is good at "looking menacing," and Willie is entertaining.

5/5 Return of the Outlaws
  by robert whalen (Ohio)
In a film studded with THE OUTLAWS, this movie is a great tribute to a forgotten music and way....Willie and Kris have a great chemistry as aging outlaws, travis tritt shows he can act, and waylon jennings(who has a very small acting role) uses that rich voice of his in voice-overs....I loved them as singers, and although the plot is what you would expect from a western, the quality of the movie is not expected....this is top-notch

5/5 A fine western

This was an excelent western. Kept me entertained throughout the movie. The settings were wonderful. Along with Kris Kristofferson, Wille Nelson, Travis Tritt and Waleon Jennings (small part) add fine acting to the movie. I highy recommend this movie to fans of westerns.

1/5 A self-entertaining with too much money to throw away?

Loose script with holes as big as the Black Hole. At certain clippings, there were potentials to evolve into a good movie but always fell short. I could clearly see that none of the actors had put heart into this movie but just acting by wearing cool dark or black gears. Son of Tolby didn't know how to handle a six shooter but suddenly became a fast-draw gunfighter and shot to kill the tough gunslinger without even had to aim. The loud mouthed tough outlaw with fast draw was beaten by the young man due to ending was coming and had to die. Nelson and Chris just cash in for their cool images. There was no storyline whatever I could see, just contrite and joking around performance. The country singer sang a pretty good song but acting poorly with good western Texan accent. What's the deal between the Mexican officer and that look-tough-but-got-nothing-to-cash-in when the chips were down? Don't treat a viewer like me as a pea brain or even brain dead, OK? The script was obviously a die-trying by a high school drop out. What impressed me most is the snorings of these two old hombres. That's the only thing I could remember and visualized for this pathetic movie.

4/5 A great movie

Outlaw Justice is a wonderful look at the age of outlaws along the lines of Lonesome Dove or The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean. Humorous and endearing, serious and artistic, Outlaw Justice presents some of the most colorful characters from the "Outlaw" period of Country music in roles that they were made to play. Down sides include a lack of a letter box format and a lack of a menu system which leave the movie with 4 stars...otherwise it is a 5 star preformance!
