Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
mtcla Out In Fifty, has got to be one of the worst movies i have ever watched. I can safely say i've gone through all of Mickey Rourke's films (including his catalogue of 90s trash), so you know i have sat through plenty of stinkers. Its hard to describe the film in a general sense, let alone do so in an endearing manner. Its misguided plot, unlikeable characters and penniless production value all leaving more to be desired. Even the most devoted Mickey Rourke fans, determined to see every film he's appeared in, are likely to struggle sitting through it all. Especially considering that Rourke isn't in the film anywhere near as much as he should. i cannot possibly list all the flaws; I haven't even enough space, nor does my dignity allow the time to devote. Mickey plays a man enraged by envy; caused by the murder of his wife, who was somehow killed while she cheated on him. Such backwards character foundation renders the character entirely impossible to relate to; and resultantly useless. The acting is unfortunately reminiscent of a porno constantly also; meaning every scene has a strange aesthetic which leaves one repulsed and laden with discomfort. Watch at your own risk, bearing these cautions in mind. I've done it - hopefully you now won't have to...
merklekranz Unless you want to flush 95 minutes of your life down the drain, "Out in Fifty" is certainly a movie worth missing. This is truly a mixed up mess. Scott Leet seems to be trying to perfect a Clint Eastwood imitation. Mickey Rourke comes in and out of the film only to mumble his lines, take a drink, and threaten Leet for the umpteenth time. Everyone is so self indulgent that there are zero likable characters. As for the screenplay, it is severely disjointed and quite dull. Tens of minutes seem like an eternity, with nothing of interest on the screen. In short, the movie is talky to the extreme, with shaky camera, and a so what story line. Avoid. - MERK
princedinacon Okay movie. But let's hear it for Scott Leet. He did an amazing job playing Ray Frye, (very Clint Eastwood-ish) a hardened ex-convict who's trying to go straight. There's one scene in the movie where Leet's character takes his first drink in 7 years. Wow! Guy must be a method actor because I haven't seen a great drunk scene as good as that in years. You could just see the inner turmoil all over his face as he tries to stay on his feet.The one turn off in the movie, actually two turn-offs, was Mickey Rourke and Bojesse Christopher. Mickey was almost a non-entity in the movie, practically phoning in his performance, if you can even call it a performance, and Bojesse Christopher was just outright ridiculous. It's like he was playing a parody of a real human being while the rest of the cast was grounded in real life drama. I hope to see more of Mr. Leet on the big screen. Major talent.
Paul Craven This film looks like it was made for ten dollars and the acting is awful. Besides that, there is no story. Ughh. Pass on this one. I think Mickey Rourke needs to be more selective. These films last a long time and I think he should try to choose better roles.
