Outlaw

I beg to differ it is a Nick love film and when you watch one you know what your in for. It may not be as good as football factory or have a story like the business but at least it is original. Yes the camera style is a bit awkward, some of the things pointless like the abandoning of his gf at the alter. But how can you say Danny dyer's acting is bad. He is brilliant as he is in every film. Sean Bean and him make the film if you ask me. The film is very realistic and can be related to if you know what city life is like and the yobs nowadays. I loved the idea although i think it could have been done better. Putting aside the pointless parts overall i would recommend watching this film but don't spend any money on it.

Just spent some time watching this move .. and unlike the previous reviewer enjoyed this film. I disagreed with him so much it prompted me to write my first ever comments on IMDb. In the trivia part of the IMDb description it says that actual events were used as inspiration for the scenes and i thought they were all quite believable. "He's hidin in da countryside"! was one comment i found funny as is in the age of big brother hiding in the city would have made for a very short movie.

Somehow i suspect that other people who have watched this film sort of missed the point and have probable led sheltered lives somewhere with mummy and daddy feeding them with a silver spoon as i found the characters true to life as i have met people who talk and act how the script was written.

I'm not claiming that this film should win any awards .. however i thought it deserved higher praise and didn't want any other potential viewers to be put off. blair witch scored higher and my little eye scored the same ( i turned both of these movies off before the end). This movie has far more entertainment value than both and after all isn't that what movies are for .. thanks for listening.

The main reason I'm commenting on this movie, is because before I even considered watching it, I read the comments on IMDb. Now I remember a couple of the comments comparing this movie to the Boondock Saints, and not in a good way.

After watching this movie, I now know, it is nothing like the Boondock Saints. Not even close. The style and mood of these two movies are completely different.

As for the movie. I enjoyed it. They establish the characters early on and you begin to care about what happens to them, and bad things do happen to them. This is where the characters take a turn from their normal lives and start fighting back. This "vigilante" movie is more believable than any other I've seen. The characters struggle with what they have set out to do, and at times can't follow through with their plans for justice. Most comments about this movie have dissected it, and over analyzed it. I enjoyed the mood of this movie, it entertained me and gave me an ending i didn't expect.

It really was a disappointment. Slow start and the last 20 minutes picks up. But I had to give it a 7/10 because of the concept. "Boondock Saints" was better.

=> maybe see it! Better to rent.

Plot: The law & govt in London lets down several average citizens in terrible crimes committed against them and their families. Corrupt officials are in league with the govt who allow criminals to get off. Soluion = vigilante group forms to right the wrongs.

Lot of reasonably well known actors in here but it has a B quality movie flavor. Maybe you could say more of live or real budget production. It moves a long a bit slowly, but despite all of this I really have to draw attention to..

+ves: - it almost follows a pseudo real life pace not a Hollywood blockbuster - the incidents that occur are believable. It could happen in South London. - bully's & punks with top people in collusion with police - corrupts govt and police - a few wrong people pushed too far and of course the social path who is drawn to the group - and a predictable or realistic ending.. Don't worry no spoilers.

-> The longer I consider it the more the movie has drawn me in, like a car crash and it deserves it's 7/10

This isn't a great film and I was never quite sure whether it meant to be a study of the dark underbelly of disaffected Britain or a crude vigilante flick. A lot of reviewers here have been dismissive of it, but I think it had fleeting touches of real power. Unfortunately, they did not build into anything of substance.

The gang members did not convince and their behaviour took the film into a strange fantasy-land world.

Sean Bean made a reasonable stab at a two dimensional character and a better script would have brought this to life. Supporting cast made a fair stab at it, but all-in-all an opportunity missed.
