3/10
What A Letdown
10 March 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I have seen Goodbye Charlie Bright, Football Factory & The Business and I really love them all but Outlaw is a travesty and a massive let down...

The camera work as noted by others is atrocious but this didn't annoy me as much as the amount of holes in the plot and the shockingly bad script...

1) I know he is trying to make a more serious film but Nick Love relies on comedy to get his films across and there was next to none...

2) Things like Danny Dyers line, "I know where he is...he's in the countryside" are so bad I had to laugh...as if the countryside is within a 1mile radius... Oh and there are others...

3) His girlfriend saying, "this is where you had your dream..." he replies "i know" then she says "why did you come here?" he replies (get your Oscars out..) "i don't know" Brilliant - absolutely brilliant!

4) He wants to marry his girlfriend throughout but this for no reason jolts her at the wedding to beat up some people...marry the lady then go...its not hard!

5) The amount of times the barrister says he'll join them and then refuses is just DAMN boring...it was like hearing the same script multiple times to waste time because Nick Love didn't know where to take the film...

6) Why do they waste another 10mins of the film showing the girl smiling at the disfigured fella? I don't care! Then they show him playing rugby...again this is about the violence in todays society not this random guys impression of Jason Robinson...and before the final fighting he leaves anyway...so pointless!

All in all a waste of my money and I was throughly let down...I will be waiting for his next film because they have been great up to this...go back to the heart warming comedy and stick away from politics...im sorry but its above you.
