Review of Outlaw

Outlaw (2007)
7/10
entertaining & thought-provoking
1 June 2008
A British Iraq War vet, Danny Bryant (Sean Bean) returns stateside and is sickened by how lax the criminals are treated by corrupt cops & judges. So he forms a ragtag group of like-minded individuals, along with some help from a disillusioned cop in the system (played by Bob Hoskins) This is an extremely well-acted film not only by the usually superb Bean & Hoskins, but Nick Love film mainstay Danny Dyer as well. It's a gritty character study with bouts of ultra-violence. Among the vigilante sub-genre this film ranks up among the better ones (even if the ending is easy to guess) Kudos to writer/director Nick Lowe.

My Grade: A-

DVD Extras: Commentary with Nick Love & Danny Dyer; a promo for HD.net ; and Trailers for "Life Before her eyes", "The Signal", "Shrooms", & "Quid Pro Quo"
