Just spent some time watching this move .. and unlike the previous reviewer enjoyed this film. I disagreed with him so much it prompted me to write my first ever comments on IMDb. In the trivia part of the IMDb description it says that actual events were used as inspiration for the scenes and i thought they were all quite believable. "He's hidin in da countryside"! was one comment i found funny as is in the age of big brother hiding in the city would have made for a very short movie.

Somehow i suspect that other people who have watched this film sort of missed the point and have probable led sheltered lives somewhere with mummy and daddy feeding them with a silver spoon as i found the characters true to life as i have met people who talk and act how the script was written.

I'm not claiming that this film should win any awards .. however i thought it deserved higher praise and didn't want any other potential viewers to be put off. blair witch scored higher and my little eye scored the same ( i turned both of these movies off before the end). This movie has far more entertainment value than both and after all isn't that what movies are for .. thanks for listening.

This isn't a great film and I was never quite sure whether it meant to be a study of the dark underbelly of disaffected Britain or a crude vigilante flick. A lot of reviewers here have been dismissive of it, but I think it had fleeting touches of real power. Unfortunately, they did not build into anything of substance.

The gang members did not convince and their behaviour took the film into a strange fantasy-land world.

Sean Bean made a reasonable stab at a two dimensional character and a better script would have brought this to life. Supporting cast made a fair stab at it, but all-in-all an opportunity missed.

Remember the good old days when revenge was sweet and vicious, when the hero hero was absolute in his convictions and dished it out to the sleaze-balls ten times worse than they gave, all the way down to the smallest weasel on the totem pole?

Outlaw starts well. Buttons are pushed and the protagonists get ready to do battle, then they change their minds, then it's back on, then off again. Then one of the characters reminds them that they're supposed to be a vigilante group so they kill(?) him.

Along the way, they go out of their way to let the audience know that radical Islam isn't on their hit list (way to keep your head from being used as a football, Mr. Director).

Meanwhile, I've switched allegiances and began to root for the villains.

I hate to say it but this movie reinforces stereotypes of 21st century Britain as a place with a lot of blustery swagger, crippled by political correctness and all around indecisiveness.

Charles Bronson R.I.P. This movie is no threat to your greatness.
