    Underrated Action Film

    The former British military Lex Walker (Craig Fairbrass) is presently working as a contractor in Afghanistan, when he is informed that his estranged daughter Samantha (Melissa Ordway) died in Los Angeles. He travels to London, but is informed that he needs to fly to LA to identify the body. When he arrives at the morgue, he finds that the corpse is not hers and decides to look for Samantha´s whereabouts. He discovers the last phone calls and places where Samantha was and meets her former boss Karl Schuuster (James Caan), who has a suspicious behavior. Lex proceeds his investigation, while is followed by Detective Klein (Jason Patric) that is assigned for the case, and by Schuuster's men that want to find Samantha. What happened to Samantha?

    "The Outsider" is an absolutely underrated action film. The story is good, the characters are well-developed and the conclusion is highly entertaining. Fortunately I have not seen the IMDb User Rating before watching this movie; otherwise I would might have been misguided. Fans of action films will certainly enjoy "The Outsider". My vote is seven.

    I give 2 star to this movie...I hope you all know why i give this much stars

    This movie is a lot of fun, i mean i watched whole movie and i thought what if i had a remote in my hand and i would forward some scenes from it. I also think that this type of movie i have seen back in 2001-2006 year and i felt like that story writer doesn't have the knowledge to make a proper movie.This type of movies, story writer used to make back 5-10 years ago. Nothing new in this. It is like i wasted my time watching this movie. It is like no new ideas to make a movie. And 1 more thing is funny, over-acting that i grab in some scenes. Also, funny story again. And millionaire have a enough security guards to check any person whom comes in to its party when he has many person with guns and bouncers. And without checking they came in and that is the funniest thing i came to know. Guards inside the party available but not the outside to check for security well that funny. Well i have seen movies like Italian job and others. I salute this story writers and directors by not making mistakes like this big things. But this guy whomever the story writer must need to know one thing that when you write story then you or anybody, even the director must know and make a natural movie that may audiences attract. Make a proper movie and i am sure you will earn stars. For rightnow i have nothing but to give you proper 2/10 star.

    Sorry..

    Pleasantly surprised

    I wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised for this low budget film. Suspenseful, action packed and good story line, this movie kept me waiting for what was next. The first five minutes got you straight into the film with the murder of a girl thought to be the daughter of Lex Walker. As the plot unfolded, it was easy to see who was behind the murder but the suspense came when you didn't know where his investigation would lead him next. Good mix with the British and American cast. The action was great, clean and not blood thirsty which tied in well with Lex Walkers character as a military man. Only criticism is I would have liked it better without all the 'F' bombs, the movie would have been better without it.

    Decent film, really bad sound

    This could have been a really good film but we struggled to hear the whole film. The English accent of the main character was not brilliant and the West Coast US accent of many of the actors meant it really difficult to hear individual words. We went through all the changes of sound on our system - even turned off the surround sound in case this made a difference, but each the voices were mumbled and muffled. it was a case of guess the words the whole way through. Have to say though, that I have to nominate Craig Fairbrass for a better Jack Reacher than Tom Cruise. I hope Lee Childs etc decide to change the actor for the next film

    Honestly went for the Star power?

    I went to see this movie because of the recognizable names of Shannon Elisabeth, Jason Patrick, and James Caan, but looking back at it, I'm not sure why. There was a time when having all three in a movie would draw a bigger crowd, but I'm not sure if all their 15 minutes of fame ever overlapped with each other. The movie is about a father who finds out his daughter's dead and goes to LA to ID a body that turns out not to be his daughter. When I read this description I assumed given the actors evolved that James Caan was the dad, Shannon Elisabeth was the daughter, and Jason Patrick had something to do with her going missing, but instead all three top names play mostly back seat drivers to some British actor behind the wheel who's most likely a bigger draw in the UK than he is here. The movie is very genetic and bland and kind of goes fully by the numbers for an action flick with nothing really sticking out to impress me. Although I did love James Caan in it.

    • Trivia
      Mark and Christine Holder were the Manager's of Craig Fairbrass and Brian Miller and also Producers on the film and admitted in writing to embezzling their salaries along with the vast majority of the CAST and CREW. When Fairbrass and Miller discovered this they attempted to right the situation but the Holders defamed, slandered and attacked them with false and malicious accusations that forced Miller/Fairbrass to sue the Holders in Federal Court. Both won major settlements against the Holders.

      Whilst being notified of his daughter's death, Lex's commanding officer tells him that the body is still in LA and that the authorities need him "to sign off on it before it can be shipped back to London for burial".

      However, upon leaving Afghanistan he flies back to the UK, believing that his daughter's body is coming home the next day, when his friend Nick visits and tells him that "Her body's still in Los Angeles".
