I suspect this film came about after the creators watched Bikie Wars: Brothers in Arms, which also has Matt Nable cast as a biker, and thought it would work again. It didn't.

It is so good, from the beginning that his daughter got kidnapped and wife got shot, till the day the "Gentleman" got killed by Marshal James Anderson, and walks away with his child on the brown horse. You feel like you're the character.

I, too, remember The Outlaws from when I was a junior western buff back in the early '60s. It's wonderful to hear of it again and put it into the history of TV westerns.

Sooooooo much potential, let down in the end. Character development in the beginning laid down real potential for a great story line.

As good as outlaw Mc gang movies get. good character development.

It's like an Australian Sons of Anarchy, with the fun, wit and quality scriptwriting sucked out it and replaced with various dirty looking meatheads grunting at each other. Every character sticks to the stereotype and the ending is the predictable "crime doesn't pay", even though most of the movie is trying to present the opposite.

Good Aussie movies are rare unless you like Arthouse rubbish or comedies that aren't funny.This was a great yarn about a bikie club in a leadership crisis.

Perhaps the concept of telling the stories of the west from the bad guy's point of view had to wait until Law and Order Criminal Intent made its debut on NBC. Certainly nobody was as quirky as law enforcement official as Vincent Donofrio on The Outlaws.
