Review of The Outsider

The Outsider (2002 TV Movie)
6/10
Pure corn
10 November 2002
"The Outsider" tells of a beautiful Quaker-type pacifist woman (Watts) who's sheep-ranching homsteading husband is murdered by a cattleman's henchmen and is then visited by a wounded gunslinger (Daly) who just happens to quote scripture, play the harmonica, and is, of course, reeking of testosterone. In this eminently predictable, hackneyed story, the woman must nurse the man back to health and then reject the temptation to have him turn his six-shooters on the men who killed her husband and some other temptations which go with a widow living with a virile man in the same house in the boonies...well, you get the picture.

Nothing new in this no-brainer from Hallmark & Showtime. Good old fashioned PG13-type (some sex, nudity, and violence) entertainment worth a look for anyone up for a melodramatic Western. (C+)
