For the first hour, “The Baytown Outlaws” keeps to a persuasive display
of violence and colorful characters, with co-writer/director Barry
Battles manufacturing a tasty slice of southern-fried grindhouse,
populated with seedy characters and outrageous confrontations. The pace
isn’t kept as the material eventually begs to be taken seriously, which
comes to cripple the entire viewing experience. However, those with a
taste for unsavory events guided by loudmouth participants should be
able to extract some enjoyment out of the determined feature. It’s a
shame Battles loses his nerve in the final act, weirdly assuming viewers
have developed an emotional attachment to material that works best as a
cartoon. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
