Review of Outlander

Outlander (2008)
7/10
what happened to the marketing team on this?
10 March 2011
OK, small disclaimer. I did attend high school with Jim, but any nepotism aside, the marketing directory should be FIRED. CANNED! Strung up...on this film. How do you have a budget of 50 mil, and decent special effects, pretty good acting...a uniquely new twist on the chosen one story, and somehow the movie only makes a few hundred thousand on 81 screens?!? What the heck? Since I had never heard of this, I thought it was a direct to video until I looked it up in the IMDb.

Between movies like this and the 2007 movie Stardust, with what has to be one of the best performances of robert deniro's career, you have to wonder what these people are thinking to try and make money? It's not like these monsters looked fake? It's not like the blood and gore was over the top...and hey, you finally get to see Ron Perlman silenced with a decapitation!
