The Newton Boys (1998)

Richard Linklater’s The Newton Boys (1998) tells the true story of the Newton Gang, a family of bank robbers from Ulvalde, Texas. The titular group is comprised of four Newton brothers—Willis (Matthew McConaughey), Jess (Ethan Hawke), Joe (Skeet Ulrich), and Dock (Vincent D’Onofrio)—and one outsider, Brentwood Glasscock (Dwight Yoakam). Together, the five felonious-minded fellows tear off on a wild crime spree that spread across the United States and into Canada, heisting bank vaults at night in order to avoid hurting or killing anyone. You see, these thieves have a conscience. They strictly adhered to a simple code: no killing, no stealing from chicks and kids, and no snitching. Looting nearly two hundred banks during their spree, the prolific crooks seemed unstoppable, until they crossed paths with Texas Ranger Frank Hamer (Ken Farmer). Stealing is a tiresome activity, so the boys take time from their criminal ways to enjoy a dip in a lake, which gives us a quick look at Skeet Ulrich’s butt and privates as he does an enthusiastic flip in the water. Looks like Skeet has a big Newton!
