Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
This movie is realistic and awesome. I don't care what people says about this movie it is great because this movie show's us what teenagers who are rich can do. They can broke the law and there parents are protecting them.With there lawyers taking the law with them instead stopping them.I have watch this movie in 2003 haven't seen it in a while now and the reason i am commenting and writing this review is because similar situation i have here by my house.Every minute on a day i am been terrorized by teenagers boys while there parents are protecting them and speaking for them. That there children did not do anything.So now i reported them to the cops. Last night i was siting in my leaving room on my computer when a young juvenile throw a snow ball in my window and later he make jokes about it. "Telling me what are you going to do about it?" That was his answer to me. So i reported the incident and i call the police. 3.months ago they broke my door and hide somewhere so that i couldn't find them. I was on the police station that time and is now the third time i had to call them. So i don't care about you people who say's bad things about this movie. Actor Rob Lowe and director Robert Allan Ackerman are showing us what can happen when parents ignore us victims and let the crimes happen to us. His father of that criminal juvenile hit my father's car in June caused an car accident and than got away form the accident and dined he did it and got clean away with it. After my dad confront him he dined everything and now his adopted son thinks he can broke the law and get away with it. Not with me. Tom Casey played by Rob Lowe did the right thing by reporting those young teenage criminals and fight for his live and his family. You never see a violence closer, your wrong. There are not vandalism just in America there are worse crimes and vandalism in Slovenia than in America are. Tom Casey did the right thing by fighting for his family and i am going to do the same as the character did. We are done been a victims and these juvenile villains made to be heroes. I am giving this movie the higher star than anyone else did.
Rob Lowe and Jennifer Grey star in Outrage and play a thirty something married couple who arouse the ire of a trio of punk preppies. And it all starts with Rob Lowe being a good citizen and the system victimizing him. It all starts with Lowe seeing these kids breaking into his car and reporting same. They even catch the leader Eric Michael Cole with a licensed handgun Lowe was keeping in his glove compartment. So what happens the kids who are nicely connected, especially Cole with lawyer Kathryn Harrold for a mother get a slap on the wrist. Lowe gets arrested rather speciously in my opinion on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon and gets 15 days and a criminal record to boot.But the kids especially Cole think they have to get even and Lowe ups the ante quite a bit with his attitude. After that these children of privilege sadistically torment Lowe and his wife and Lowe gets deeper and deeper in what could be some real trouble.A talented cast puts over this film which does have a tendency toward the melodramatic. Cole is some piece of work, you can see a future Gordon Gekko in him if he can control himself just a tad.Lowe and Grey who were Brat Pack charter members in the Eighties fill out their roles well as you can see some of their characters from the last decade grown up a bit. The film is definitely for fans of their's.
When you put a good looking actor with not too much talent (Rob Lowe) opposite a not so good looking actress with no talent (Jennifer Grey) you have no sparks and no drama. I was constantly aware of the bad acting by these two and the cold chemistry between them. I have always found Grey boring on screen and no charisma. Even that DIRTY DANCING movie which was clearly Patrick Swayzie's movie. So, don't waste your time with this loser due to the two leads and not the story or supporting cast. Eric Michael Cole was wonderfully evil in this with an innocent look to his prep school image. He was delightful to watch as he maneuvered Lowe. His mother, played by the delightful Kathryn Harrold was also exciting to watch. She carried a small but vivid role beautifully. And then there was Shane Meier as one of Cole's cohorts. He did what he could in a small role. But who can forget his incredible performance as Matthew Shepard in THE MATTHEW SHEPARD STORY. A haunting and beautiful performance. He's wasted in this.Rob Lowe is capable of good work. In this, he's not given much support from his leading lady. Too bad. In better hands, this movie could have been better.
Though the movie was well made, it left me with an outrage of how the justice sometimes works. I believe that this movie has mainly one purpose, to show that an innocent and concerned citizen can actually become victimized by the judiciary system with its many loopholes that will actually protect the guilty and punish the true victim. It was best demonstrated when the judge sent a man who had a loaded gun in his car and no previous conviction to prison and ignored the true crime of braking into cars to steal radios by someone whose mother was a lawyer. I recommend this movie for everyone to see the outrage of a man who hasn't done anything wrong and suffered from the criminal actions against him. Well, the title is most fitting.
