What a waste of my time!!!

A Disappointing Continuation

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Rob Lowe stars in the story of a decent guy who gets mixed up with some spoiled rich kids who decide to mess with him because they can (They are rich with parents who are connected to keep them out of trouble and too young to have serious consequences.) As Lowe's life spirals out of control and things fall apart he decides to take things in to his own hands.Good but unremarkable thriller is still worth a look because the villain is deliciously evil and because the rest of the cast manages to sell a plot that stays a little too close to the well worn path. I wouldn't pay any more than a rental for it (This was a TV movie and not a big screen production so its not big and spectacular), but if you do run across it you could do worse

When you put a good looking actor with not too much talent (Rob Lowe) opposite a not so good looking actress with no talent (Jennifer Grey) you have no sparks and no drama. I was constantly aware of the bad acting by these two and the cold chemistry between them. I have always found Grey boring on screen and no charisma. Even that DIRTY DANCING movie which was clearly Patrick Swayzie's movie. So, don't waste your time with this loser due to the two leads and not the story or supporting cast. Eric Michael Cole was wonderfully evil in this with an innocent look to his prep school image. He was delightful to watch as he maneuvered Lowe. His mother, played by the delightful Kathryn Harrold was also exciting to watch. She carried a small but vivid role beautifully. And then there was Shane Meier as one of Cole's cohorts. He did what he could in a small role. But who can forget his incredible performance as Matthew Shepard in THE MATTHEW SHEPARD STORY. A haunting and beautiful performance. He's wasted in this.Rob Lowe is capable of good work. In this, he's not given much support from his leading lady. Too bad. In better hands, this movie could have been better.

In addition to everyone else's comments and reviews, I'd like to mention that this movie portrays two excellent social commentaries: one, the sad injustices of the justice system and two, the true, full scope of the very nature and character of violence on a universal level. Violence, in all its forms, have stages, and OUTRAGE presents most of them from the mildest to the most severe. And like drugs, after the kicks of a mild level of violence loses its appeal and purpose, a stronger dose is needed to get the initial feeling again. And then even a stronger dose than that, and so on, until lines are overstepped, things gets serious and lives are ruined. The parallels between drugs and violence are so uncannily exact, OUTRAGE is almost a sociology study. Especially that juvenile crime is not exclusively a problem among the poor. That the rich, who are bored, with everything handed to them, and with social prestige in the community feels is above the law. So, if you want to see fine writing, fine acting, believable characters you care about and can recognize in people you've met, a good suspenseful thriller -- and the most extraordinary social commentaries that will pull some heartstrings, DON'T MISS "OUTRAGE!"

Exciting drama about a talented and gifted sociopath and his 2 excitement loving buddies who, after noticing a man, begin a crusade to not just annoy the man but to really mess up his life. These plans go from crank calls to low grade terror tactics and finally to life altering problems for him and his family. Good picture from start to pulse pounding finale.
