Lost Outlaw

This is a independent movie. Not a big budget, big studio, big name effort. I don't get why reviewers try to be so dramatic in their posts.

Outlaw Lucas comes to a cross roads in his life. Choose to stay on the path of being an outlaw or following his new love interest and the righteous path to God. Along the way he must deal with the RedJack Gang, a bounty hunter and a US Marshal. Not to mention his new girls sister, mother and her male friend, the retired sheriff. Lost Outlaw had some poor acting efforts, most all the females in the cast, Quinn and all the miners. Also had a couple that were alright, Jack, Tucker, Daniels, Sal and Enos. And a couple the were just very stiff, Lucas and Tate. Nonetheless they are all still likable. The story is ok but nothing special. The cinematography was pretty good, wardrobe, sets and locations look good. Music was a good effort.

Overall Lost Outlaw is a so-so movie, fine to rent for four bucks but not one I'd watch more than once or go out and purchase.

No need to be ridiculous with the 'worst movie in the history of mankind' or 'this film is the Muhammad Ali of movies' type of self serving post though.

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.

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+

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.

Well, hmmm. Not the best movie I've seen in a while. Right from the start it's pretty hooky. The acting is mostly poor, Jack, Quinn, and the gang don't do a very job, but the supporting cast is even worse. The retired sheriff and the Marshall seem ok and the two older guys were pretty funny as comedy relief but the story just lacks. It's obvious none of the cast really know how to ride a horse! The saving grace is the theme song, it's a real ear worm...
