Nick

Well, I really liked it. It got my attention, very good story, beautiful scenery, fine acting.

I love these kinds of murder mysteries, small town, woods, snow.

I went in, despite the low rating, and wow, was I pleasently surprised! Its filmed in Andorra, a tiny country here in Europe, a country which is beautiful, but like other Eastern countries, has its share of fnancial problems.

None of that was present here, this movie was very well made.

My only problem was with the main character, the police woman. She was unlikeable, and extremely incompetent at her work.

I would say she was downright stupid.

Her female colleague was a better actress, and a way better police officer.

All in all, I recomend it.

Unsympathetic characters, some weirdly stilted acting, and an opaque plot give this film a very unusual feel. But don't let this, or the bad reviews, put you off. Actually it's an excellent film which drew me in and then scared the she-hit out of me. If all films were the same it'd be really boring. I'd rather watch this than 99 out of 100 Hollywood blockbusters. Hooray for weirdness!

Competently shot, but everything else about 'Outlier' (aka 'Nick') is unfortunately not good.

Melina Matthews and Molly Malcolm are passable in the acting department, though the rest of them aren't great - especially the other lead. The film is set/filmed in Andorra which is nice, though I wouldn't say it shows the place off as much as I could've. The plot, meanwhile, has potential yet concludes with a damp squib. This 2010s film does have a solid score and song (+ music video!), though.

Very interesting premise here, and well written and acted, although confusing as to where exactly it is set. It seems to be somewhere in Spain, and it is claimed to have been filmed there and in Andorra, in the Pyrenees. One of the Spanish actress, the one who looks after the horses, sounds so English, one could not even know she was from Spain. The only irritation - that annoying, surly teenager, who decides he is going to hate everyone he meets, and show utter contempt, then make them look like the villain when they are upset by it. Granted, his step- or half-sister actually does not help the situation, and perhaps overreacts to him at times. One also wonders why this evil killer decides to murder such a beautiful nice young girl near the start - some of those creeps just have to destroy everything. It is refreshing though to have a different setting from normal, and they should make more like this.

This to me is very strange story and it left me wondering where is was going to lead to. I guess by the way it finished there will be a sequel? But if there is, one wonders how they are going to keep the story going without it becoming predictable and boring. On the whole, a basic film that I would only watch if I had no other choice.
