★★★☆☆ The word 'outlaw' is one that conjures various associations. One definition describes a career criminal, but another a non-conformist; popular culture tends to employ the term romantically - outlaws are the likes of Robin Hood and Jesse James. So it is that Tyke Elephant Outlaw (2015) tugs on the heartstrings before it's even started and continues to do so long after the credits have rolled. Clearly pitched as a partner piece to Gabriela Cowperthwaite's hugely successful Blackfish (2013) - most evident through a recent back-to-back slot on BBC Storyville - this is a an engaging, but far less adept portrait of the cruelty heaped upon a troubled animal.
