I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

I don't know if Anthony Michael Hall was trying to be a minimalist in this one, given the character's farm background, or if he just acted poorly. He mumbles and never changes his facial expression.Also, he never breaks down and faces the intense reality of what happened to his brother. But perhaps adrenalin kicks in when you're on the run, and there's no time to sit and contemplate.*The huge plot hole is the fact that he struggles with a repair man right after discovering his brother's dead body, and he accidentally shoots the repair guy. You never hear a word about that again. No guilt, no mention from the cops, no nothing.Having said all this, I loved the movie. It shows you how your life can change dramatically overnight. The scenes of 80s synth bands in Hollywood nightclubs are priceless, and Jenny Wright was like a non-singing Cyndi Lauper, who was a famous singer at the same time. Wright was natural and considerably entertaining.Also, the bad guy was chilling and believable. Jeff Kober portrayed a sadist and sociopath. There ARE such characters. He looks like a big dude in this, but in reality, he's average size, according to his bio.If you like 80s pop culture and crime/action pictures set in the streets of L.A., you should enjoy this one. Don't forget to check out No Man's Land too. It's better and stars Charlie Sheen.

I didn't think I would like this movie and I actually only watched it because I am a huge Anthony Michael Hall fan but it did end up surprising me with how into it I became.The plot line is very generic.. or would be since a lot more movies have been made like it since then but the acting and directing of the movie is very good and still pulls you into it.Anthony Michael Halls acting is once again flawless and natural, it just shows how great his range of abilities is as an actor. The female lead annoyed me a bit but that's just my opinion.. i found her voice annoying.Overall a great movie with great acting. 7/10 just because I didn't like the gore in it, it's very minimum but if your queasy be guarded.

"Out Of Bounds" is an action packed thriller with teenage actors such as Anthony Michael Hall (Breakfast Club) , and Jenny Wright (Young Guns 2). With Jeff Kober as the main villain named Roy Gaddis who is the sadistic and crazy drug dealer , and Raymond J. Barry as a crooked drug enforcement agent.The film is about a farmboy Daryl Cage (Michael Hall) who is encouraged to leave his parents farm and move to Los Angeles with his brother. But something does go wrong , very wrong , when his brother mistakenly mixes up Daryls luggage and picks up a bag of drugs. Just hours after he arrives at his brothers place , his brother (played by the unknown Kevin McCorkle) is brutally slaughtered by the owner of the drugs. Of course the cops cannot find any fingerprints in the house except for daryl's, so he is blamed for the murder. So with the cops and a pyschotic drug dealer on his tail , Daryl and his friend Dizz must seek safety , seek revenge for his brother , and prove that Daryl is innocent.good plot , great filming , and your average budget is backed up by the supporting cast including Ji Tu Cumbuka as the dealers partner , and Meat Loaf who appears as a friend of the dealer and the pilot , Gil. All of these things add up to a minor success at the box office , and a good style of 80's teenage star films , and being shown on television quite a bit.

I've read three reviews of this movie: two knock the plot, and one knocks the acting. Why? I've seen worse movies (with bigger budgets) that the critics loved. At least the "kid" isn't depicted as being more brilliant than the cops or drug dealer. Yeah, there are some plot gaffes ... like, all the kid has to do is show that his bag check ticket doesn't match the one on the bag to prove it isn't his. But, hey! This is all make believe, anyway. So why not believe this kid is so scared he doesn't know what to do? It really is an okay movie. Fine for an afternoon diversion. If you like this genre, I doubt you'll be disappointed.
