September 2, 2011British film that basically brings to light what state the country is in these days, how law abiding citizens seem to be let down or failed by the system whilst criminals appear to roam free with little fear of severe punishment.
Its a sad fact that the film is pretty accurate w... read more -
June 17, 2010Excellent Film with Sean Bean making the most of his tough guy image. Sean Harris also adds well as the semi psycho whose ending is interesting. A international host of stars in this one of which this movie did not show well in the US, only to our lose. Film is about a group of p... read more

January 10, 2010Self Justice or vengeance( if you prefer) ended up in Disaster. Great acting, but the plot could have been a tiny bit better. I have to say Sean Bean was Brilliant in his role.

October 23, 2009Nick Love's most thought provoking film to date, not brilliantly executed but quite well directed all the same. Give the story to a more capable director who's less interested in violence and this could have been a much fairer and entertaining film. Well done to him all the same ... read more

September 19, 2008This is a very good film, quite violent and gritty with a strong cast. Fed up with the soft treatment of criminals and thugs in England, a group forms to administer their own justice. A very relevant subject at the present time as a gang culture seems to be on the rise in England... read more

July 21, 2008Good acting and intentions are undermined by thin plotting and a senseless resolution that has nothing to say.

July 13, 2008A great gritty British vengeance film, where vigilantes take a stand against the bullies in society.
Just when I thought Sean Bean was past his prime, he pulls off a part that suits him really well. -

Starring: Sean Bean, Danny Dyer, Lennie James, Bob Hoskins, Rupert Friend.
Right off the bat, this film wasn't going to have an agreeance from all audiences and it doesn't. The premise at hand is one that will always have a 50/... read more -
September 3, 2007Some wonderful performances from a brilliant cast who do the most with a group of characetrs given the most basic of emotions and motivations to work from. Always entertaining but falling flat due to the films deluded sense of a higher purpose. It's basically a revenge flick that... read more

July 21, 2007Strong language and bone-crunching tear-ups won?t appeal to the faint-hearted ? but for fans of in-your-face action, this is the business.

Derek Elley, Variety
Both the pic's power and its problems stem from Love deliberately taking no moral position nor offering any solutions; he gives his audience what it wants at a gut level and doesn't wimp out at the end. Full Review

The actors are all too good for this kind of stuff, but they do the business, while Sam McCurdy's sharp cinematography and Stuart Gazzard's slick editing keep it all moving swiftly.

Outlaw commits an unforgivable offense. It makes the vigilante genre boring. Full Review

Racho-macho vigilante action with a cockney accent, Outlaw is made to seem more important than it really is by the presence of Sean Bean and Bob Hoskins in key roles Full Review
