Angels of Chaos

Sooooooo much potential, let down in the end. Character development in the beginning laid down real potential for a great story line. Which unfortunately never came to fruition. Several storylines now seeming pointless because they were never resolved, and the movie packed up and finished way to quickly. REALLY REALLY disappointing ending. Not specifically with the true ending (like the last 15 seconds) - but with the abrubt end to several main characters prior, which resulted (as mentioned before) in great storyline potential never coming to fruition via the need for a great conclusion.

Paddo is the Vice President of the Copperheads, a motorcycle gang. He has been running the gang while the President, Knuck, is in jail. Knuck is now out of jail and sets about re-asserting his authority, often in ruthless fashion. His treatment of Paddo's brother causes tensions between the two.

A film with heaps of potential. The background was interesting and the initial vibe reminded me of that superb Australian crime-drama Animal Kingdom. However, things quickly begin to unravel. Plot development is clumsy and characters are pretty badly drawn. Events seem to occur randomly and without explanation.

Making it all worse is the performances. Ryan Corr is okay as Paddo, as is Abbey Lee as Katrina, but just about every other actor/actress overacts. Worst of all is Josh McConville as Skink: cringingly bad and hammy in the extreme, the scenery is well and truly chewed by him.

Similar to other gang type movies. It's good. Its run time is a little short. It's just about rivals and standing up for what you believe in and your family. The acting is fine. The gun shots sound a little fake.

Enjoyed this from start to finish! Another bloody good Aussie film! Realistic portrayal of the gang life. Good acting, good filming. Well directed. Good ending!

Outlaws is the most forgettable A24 films I've seen so far. The acting is good, but that's really the best I can say. This film drags horribly, there isn't really that much of a plot, and it's not engaging. The editing and the general flow is bothersome and it's really just a chore to get through. The screenplay is just all over the place, it doesn't have much of a focus, and it's not really cohesive. I rate Outlaws a 2/10.
