Review of Outlaw

Outlaw (2007)
5/10
Good cast but I couldn't relate to it
1 May 2009
Warning: Spoilers
A group of men who feel betrayed by society and the criminal justice system in particular decide to take things into their own hands and form a vigilante squad to right what they feel are wrongs. Good looking, well acted film didn't click for me. For me there is too much talk, a bit too much imagined violence and a sense of happening in a place that doesn't connect with what I know of the world. Perhaps it's tied to too much what is going on in England for me to truly appreciate what is going on. It also doesn't help that some of the twists and turns of the plot seem to happen out of left field only to move the plot along (some of what happens to the black gentlemen didn't seem wholly plausible and why is Bob Hoskins in this when all seems to be is a guy on a phone unconnected to anyone else?). If you like the cast or connect to an England in decline give it a shot.
