Returning veteran Sgt. Daniel Bryant (Sean Bean) finds himself trapped in a world of urban violence every bit as dangerous as the front lines he was lucky to leave behind. At his wit's end with rampant crime, Bryant recruits a group of men wronged by local thugs -- including newly widowed lawyer Cedric Munroe (Lennie James). With the off-the-record approval of veteran police officer Walter Lewis (Bob Hoskins), Bryant's vigilante task force engages in a bloody struggle to take back the streets.

Give me a bit of the old ultraviolence any day. Just make me care about it.

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.

Crime-revenge-porn without any style or wit or convincing narrative.

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

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

Strong crime drama between hard types. Includes some good scenes.

the content itself seems fine, but the camerawork is comprehensively atrocious. shaky hand cameras do not automatically make your movie good, especially when it's not even a found footage film. that said, i got used to it after a little while. this definitely doesn't glorify the violence as other reviews have stated, and has pretty decent writing and acting.

It's Sean bean. It's Nick Love, it's Danny D. It's violent. You know what you are going to get and you get it. Has anyone noticed the virtue signalling left wing critics on this site absolutely explode with liberal righteousness when anything might suggest taking on the weak, wet liberal world they do so well out of.
