Sadly Over-hyped

Overrated and overhyped

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Some Writer/Directors prefer to use the same actors in their films. You can't blame them for wanting to work with people they're comfortable with, but not many Writer/Directors, remake the exact same movie with a slightly different twist. Brian A. Miller came out of relative obscurity to produce the hit action thriller, The Prince, starring Bruce Willis. Less than a year later, he followed it up with The Outsider, which is basically the exact same film! The Prince featured a former mafia turncoat, going to the city he once owned, in order to find his missing daughter. The Outsider features a former member of British Special Ops, coming to America, to find his missing daughter. Both films have similar endings, mafia bosses that are played by legendary action stars, and oddly enough, both films have a cameo by 50 cent. These two films are literally so similar to one another, that aside from the British accent, and Jason Patric in the role of the cop, nothing has really changed. As a fan of action film, I realize there aren't many different directions these films can go in, but to release what amounts to the exact same film, a year later, with several of the same actors, is just bizarre. The Outsider wasn't a bad film, and I did enjoy Craig Fairbrass, he was a beast, who I was previously unfamilar with, but aside from that, this is the exact same story as seen in The Prince. Wheather you chose to sit through this one or that one, really depends on who you like better, James Caan or Bruce Willis.

You know the story/drill here, it'll be hardly surprising how this will develop. Recently there was another movie called "Prince" which had Bruce Willis in it (well sort of), but the real funny thing is that Jason Patric was in that movie too. He had a different role than that he has in this one, but just the fact that he'd be in such similar movies alone is kind of crazy.The action scenes are decent, though nothing to get too excited about. James Caan is great as always, even if his role is pretty paper thin, he makes the most of it. It's very simple as stated before and acting from other is not really something to look forward to exactly. Without Caan I'd given this max a 4/10

you seriously need to stop. In answer to your question, it would have been a more expensive movie that still sucks. As the only movies you've reviewed have been director Brian A. Miller's films, with The Way We Were thrown in for good measure, anyone with an ounce of common sense is left to conclude only that you are either Miller himself, sleeping with him, or collecting a paycheck from him. Upon doing some minor research, I found that Cuttlemonkey is the twitter handle for a young woman whose other social media accounts show that she is indeed the girlfriend of the aforementioned Mr. Miller. Desperation is quite unbecoming.Legends of the Fall has an overall rating of 7.5. The Godfather has an overall rating of 9.2. You expect us to believe this ridiculous flop is a 10? Anywho...walked in to find my girlfriend watching this on Netflix (where it only has one star), and continued to watch it with her because I thought I recognized the lead actor as someone whose performances I have enjoyed in the past. After 30 minutes, I was bored. After 45 minutes, I was irritated. An hour into it, I was so mad at how bad it was, I turned the stupid thing off.Think Taken, but really, really, really bad. That sums it up.

For a film with Jason Patric and James Caan, this movie is very disappointing. The movie started well actually, but as soon as Lex Walker (played by Craig Fairbrass)showed up it went downhill from there. The storyline was terrible. For a movie that looked like it has a lot of action in it, well I nearly went to sleep watching it.The ending was even pretty bad. I mean there was shooting upstairs and yet nobody downstairs heard any shots until two bodies fell into the pool. Schuuster (played by James Caan) was no more than 10 meters from the pool, fired about 12 shots and hit his target once.Definitely give this one a miss.
