...a solid crime movie, elevated by a keen sense of place and some fine performances. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Japanese mob story is very violent and bloody. Full Review

The Outsider feels like the first draft of a story that could have worked with more tweaks and energy. It is another case of a project featuring talented people, but never truly exploiting their talents. Full Review

Dull, flavorless, and fundamentally incurious, "The Outsider" is a clueless misfire, the cinematic equivalent of a study-abroad student showing off the kanji forearm tattoo whose meaning he never bothered to learn. Full Review

Rating: 1.5/4 -- Take Leto out of the picture and you have an even less noteworthy movie, a yakuza tale with an originality deficit. Full Review

"The Outsider" is a slick copy of multiple, much-better films and TV series. It's so well-polished it's practically featureless. Full Review

Rating: D -- It's hard to fault The Outsider too much though, as it will predictably fall into the black hole that is Netflix original movies, so here's hoping that Zandvliet, Leto, and especially Hjelm move on to better things in the near future. Full Review
