Watch The Outsider For Free

Thanks for the memories!

Just perfect...

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Title says it all and I like all Japanese and Chinese movies, even the cheesy ones but this one right here was so dry and uneventful you would think it was written at the high school level. Seemed to me that when the wrote the story the went to Wikipedia and typed in Japanese culture and went off of that only. Oh and forgot to menchion Jared stares a lot into the distance for no reason or explanation. I don't ever write reviews unless they are great or horrible this got one Star for a reason...

Just because a movie has a snails pace, does not mean it can not be brutal and violent in spades. We got one of those cases right here. It's about honor and loyalty. A major part of the movie is in Japanese (with subtitles of course), but our main character is an english speaking one. Which is the old "stranger comes into town" kind of thing.In this case his invasion into this culture that most westerners may not be that aware of, is really the driving force. He does learn fast, but he is also human, so he does have some urges and he has feelings too (even if sometimes you may think otherwise). Brutal, honest and without really taking compromises, this may feel too long for some, but will be a masterpiece for others.

We watched The Outsider because of its high ratings, especially the 10s. We have realized that those reviewers have totally different sensibilities than we do. They apparently think, and even feel, nothing about extreme violence, particularly long graphic gruesome scenes of finger amputations and throat slittings. The entire film seems to be filmed in slow motion in dim blue light. Of course, we can not say for sure because we exceeded our limits for gore, sadism, and general psychotic/sociopathic behavior lovingly lingered upon. We bailed and read the remainder of the plot on Wikipedia. Advise you do the same.

I was very excited to watch this movie because I loved the premise and the reviews here recommended it. Boy was I let down.The movie is slow, but not in a good way. It's not slow to immerse you in the old world of Japan, or even to give you some sort of visceral feel. It's just slow and then like clockwork something very violent happens. I don't even understand why he's so violent. There's just no soul behind anything.It is predictable, which is not the worst thing in the world but combine that with a slow pace and uncompelling characters and it's another fatal flaw.Gratuitous violence began to make the movie a bit comical.
