Watch Out of Bounds For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

Good concept, poorly executed.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I don't know if Anthony Michael Hall was trying to be a minimalist in this one, given the character's farm background, or if he just acted poorly. He mumbles and never changes his facial expression.Also, he never breaks down and faces the intense reality of what happened to his brother. But perhaps adrenalin kicks in when you're on the run, and there's no time to sit and contemplate.*The huge plot hole is the fact that he struggles with a repair man right after discovering his brother's dead body, and he accidentally shoots the repair guy. You never hear a word about that again. No guilt, no mention from the cops, no nothing.Having said all this, I loved the movie. It shows you how your life can change dramatically overnight. The scenes of 80s synth bands in Hollywood nightclubs are priceless, and Jenny Wright was like a non-singing Cyndi Lauper, who was a famous singer at the same time. Wright was natural and considerably entertaining.Also, the bad guy was chilling and believable. Jeff Kober portrayed a sadist and sociopath. There ARE such characters. He looks like a big dude in this, but in reality, he's average size, according to his bio.If you like 80s pop culture and crime/action pictures set in the streets of L.A., you should enjoy this one. Don't forget to check out No Man's Land too. It's better and stars Charlie Sheen.

Out of Bounds might have the potential for a mild, but good 80s teen thriller. Unfortunately, the predictable story and the cast screwed the chances for that.If you have seen the 1991 Patrick Dempsey movie, Run, then you already have some idea of the plot behind Out of Bounds. Both are quite similar as those run for your life type movies, but Run is a much better choice if this be what suits your mood. Anthony Michael Hall is Daryl Cage, a quiet kid from farm country, Iowa, who goes to stay with his older brother in Los Angeles. It all begins with identical bags at an airport luggage pickup where Daryl picks up a bag that (oh my god) looks just like his, only it contains a large supply of drugs. But the rightful owners mistakenly suspect Daryl for someone who is unexpectedly meddling in their business, so they to eliminate him. Long story short, as this mistake sadly leads to the death of his brother, Daryl is on the run not only from gangsters, but also from cops who think he's the murderer. Daryl befriends a witty, stylish young woman (Jenny Wright) who is his only chance at saving himself because obviously, he proves too stupid to help himself. This could've been a decent movie, but right from the beginning, the movie is just far too predictable for any of the sudden suspense moments to work on the audience. And second, Anthony Michael Hall either behaves like he was too good to be in this movie, or his character Daryl is supposed to be so apathetic, that it's hard to believe someone would react this way given the situation he's in. The only good thing about this movie is the likable Jenny Wright who reminded me of Emily Lloyd's performance in Cookie. And the music is alright too, as Stuart Copeland's 80s compositions typically were.But, I found that the bad qualities (the story and the leading man) seemed to outweigh even that. Therefore, I recommend watching 'Run' instead. The story is kind of similar--a young student (Patrick Dempsey) who was at the wrong place at the wrong time suddenly becomes the target of both the mafia and their team of corrupt cops thanks to one very big misunderstanding. Likewise, a young woman (Kelly Preston) is their at his aid. Run has better action, a better story, and hell if it's 80s teen stars you're looking for, why not settle for Dempsey?

A pretty silly film, "Out of Bounds" begins as a teeny-bopperstyle of movie that would suit John Hughes' tastes, and endslike how a Charles Bronson vigilante film would be. AnthonyMichael Hall plays Darryl Cage, an Iowa teen who travels to L.A.to visit his brother, only to have his duffel bag accidentallyswitched with a bag belonging to a dope runner. What follows isa frantic yet unbelievable streets of the city of angels. Hallis a likeable actor (in my book, he's a lot cooler than LeoDiCaprio!), but I wasn't used to seeing him in a gritty actionfilm like this. He's too much of a pretty boy to look ind

Predictable '80s actioner. Everything is set up as if it's underlined. We see Anthony Michael Hall practicing with his knife, so we know it'll come into play. Jeff Kober is good as the guy pursuing Hall. HIS motivations and actions are the only ones that make any sense, and he's the bad guy! Somebody gave me the video as a birthday present because I'm a huge Kober fan. If you are too, go watch AUTOMATIC (1994) or your box set of KINDRED instead.
