THE OUTSIDER is another of those modern DTV action thrillers that just feels a bit off. The staging is limited, all empty streets and empty rooms, and the plot is as slim as they come. This one sees screen hard-ass Craig Fairbrass playing a military operator who heads off to America when he hears of the death of his daughter. He soon discovers that she's not really dead but instead involved in a minor conspiracy, and the story goes from there. It's join-the-dots material and even the presence of veteran bad guy James Caan does little to enliven things. Fairbrass gets to bust a few heads and Jason Patric plays a cop, but this is unexciting and a little dull to sit through.
