Review of The Outsider

The Outsider (2014)
4/10
Nothing Out of the Ordinary
9 June 2016
Upon hearing that his daughter has been killed in Los Angeles, a British mercenary by the name of "Lex" (Craig Fairbrass) flies to the United States to take custody of her body. However, when he goes to the morgue to identify her he discovers that there has been a mix-up and the body is not that of his daughter. Since he doesn't believe the police are capable of investigating this case in a timely or efficient manner he decides to take matters into his own hands. This results in several violent confrontations as he investigates each and every lead that brings him closer to those who might know where she is. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this type of movie has already been done several times before and doesn't offer anything really new or out of the ordinary. If anything, I thought that the bland acting and several totally unrealistic scenarios contrasted rather badly on this particular film. In short, there really wasn't anything here that really caught my eye and as a result I have rated this film accordingly. Slightly below average.
