Outrage Audience Reviews

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
jehaccess6 This TV movie was a very good effort considering how limited was its budget. The lead performers, Rob Lowe and Jennifer Grey, give good efforts and mostly conceal plot deficiencies. Jennifer is about 4 years older than Rob, but that did not interfere with her performance.I noted several Canadian actors in supporting roles in this film. Although the credits do not mention where the project was filmed, the producers probably filmed in Canada to lower their production costs.Rob Lowe, 'Tom Casey', was fairly effective here. He only fell short when trying to portray an enraged victim turning on his tormentors. His attempt to intimidate one of the juvenile pack fell flat. His character was supposed to be fairly intelligent, but never learned to stop reacting to the manipulative behavior of chief tormentor 'Jeffrey'. He fell into one disastrous situation after another. A cooler head would have seen the pattern and started to try to turn the tables by anticipating the trap and setting one of his own.Jennifer Grey, 'Sally Casey' did all she could with her limited material. The plot never allowed her to give any good advice to her husband when one disaster followed another. A smart woman would have been able to see the pattern and stop being such an easy victim.I am a major fan of Jennifer Grey and saddened at how little exposure she has had after 'Dirty Dancing'. TV movies and bit parts in major films are mostly all she has been able to land since then. Perhaps she acquired a reputation for being difficult to work with in 'Dirty Dancing' and it has limited her roles since then. Perhaps she could still patch things up with Patrick Swayze and he could help her get roles in some of his new productions.The portrayal of the juvenile pack that tormented our hero seemed mostly credible. The members of the pack of rich preppies seemed to have never had fathers to channel their energies in productive directions. The pack leader, 'Jeffrey', especially seemed to have a boiling rage against his mother and society. His doting lawyer mother had the money and contacts to prevent her little darling from ever suffering for his outrages on society.The ending scenes fell off in believability. 'Tom' breaks free from police custody and holds 'Jeffrey' hostage at gunpoint. When incriminating evidence against 'Jeffrey' surfaces at the hostage scene, 'Tom' is magically absolved of all offense and allowed to walk over to the hospital where his wife is being treated. He would have still faced charges for his acts in the real world.
Movie Nuttball Outrage is a very good film that has a good cast which includes Rob Lowe, Jennifer Grey, Kathryn Harrold, Eric Michael Cole, Shane Meier, Cyrus Thiedeke, Jerry Wasserman, and Nathaniel DeVeaux. The acting by all of these actors is very good. Lowe is really excellent in this film. I thought that he performed good. The thrills is really good and some of it is surprising. The movie is filmed very good. The music is good. The film is quite interesting and the movie really keeps you going until the end. This is a very good and thrilling film. If you like Rob Lowe, Jennifer Greyand, Nathaniel DeVeaux, the rest of the cast in the film, Thrillers, Dramas, and interesting Action films then I strongly recommend you to see this film today!
aiteh Though the movie was well made, it left me with an outrage of how the justice sometimes works. I believe that this movie has mainly one purpose, to show that an innocent and concerned citizen can actually become victimized by the judiciary system with its many loopholes that will actually protect the guilty and punish the true victim. It was best demonstrated when the judge sent a man who had a loaded gun in his car and no previous conviction to prison and ignored the true crime of braking into cars to steal radios by someone whose mother was a lawyer. I recommend this movie for everyone to see the outrage of a man who hasn't done anything wrong and suffered from the criminal actions against him. Well, the title is most fitting.
Brad K. Outrage is a decent made for TV-movie. The story centers around Rob Lowe (St. Elmo's Fire, Wayne's World) a working man who one day thwarts a few teenagers attempt at robbery and becomes a victim of theirs in an attempt at terrorizing him and his wife. The film's weak elements are the non-frightening bad guys (almost laughable actually), the average at best script, and some poor supporting performances (the main bad guy especially). The film is well-directed though and makes you feel for the couple, but the film's main asset is Rob Lowe. Lowe gives a fairly strong lead performance and has several scenes where he especially shines. If Lowe keeps giving solid performances in small movies like this, maybe he can get himself some decent roles in big movies again.
