Lost Outlaw

Granted, I am not really overly keen on Westerns, as there is a heap of dubious movies out there. But I will admit that every now and again then there does come some gold to the surface in the Western genre. But when I sat down to watch the 2021 "Lost Outlaw" movie from writer and director Darrell Mapson, then I wasn't really harboring much of any expectations as I had never heard about it prior to now in 2022, as I sat down to watch it.

And truth be told, then I wasn't really much impressed with the storyline that Darrell Mapson managed to churn out here. The storyline felt too generic and didn't ever manage to get off of the ground. And that made for a rather monotonous and mundane movie experience. So yeah, "Lost Outlaw" wasn't really a particularly great movie.

The acting performances in "Lost Outlaw" were fairly okay for the most parts, so at least that counted for something. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble here, which is usually something I enjoy in movies. But for some reason that just hardly mattered in "Lost Outlaw", as I didn't get worked up about it.

There are far better Western movies out there, but I am sure that "Lost Outlaw" will provide the hardcore Western fans with some enjoyment. For me, while "Lost Outlaw" was a Western movie, it just lacked that particular Western atmosphere.

My rating of "Lost Outlaw" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

How, in this day and age, does something like this even get on to a script... let alone shot and released?!

Backyard amateur everything, star wars fan fiction puts this to shame... and those are barely tolerable.

Some nice work for an Indy western.

Pros - nice cinematography, costumes, story, sets.

Cons- sound, some of the acting, dialogue.

Overall it's a nice watch. Some of the acting is good some not so good. Unfortunately the females all seem to ramble their lines too fast and with little emotion. A couple of the men, the bounty hunter and Lucas are also stiff in their delivery. The dialogue uses a lot of terms that we're not used in the time period, " dad split" is the main one that comes to mind. The costumes look pretty good and the story is easy to follow. The sound seems to come in and out and I swear I heard a car motor start up during the last scene.

But It's a great effort and for a independent movie and a western to boot ( pun intended ), it's worth a watch.

A solid 6+

I enjoyed this movie. Most of the characters were believable and the two older miners were a fun addition to the plot. I especially enjoyed the performances of the two older brothers in the gang, Jack and Quinn, both very believable actors. The preacher, the mother and the US Marshall were also great in their roles. Some of the other characters were a little stiff and that slowed the plot a bit, but over all, it was a worthy effort.

Why make this movie? To wash money or to blow money?

Really bad directing, bad acting , bad script, just bad . Almost as if it was made by some High school kids.

The dialogue is like listening to molases. I had to switch off half way it was so bad.
