Outcast (2014)

What in the hell is this garbage!

Nic Cage...for the love of god man! Seriously! ...know what...its not your fault...no... Im a huge fan...and Ill remain one forever. But for the love of god... James Dormer!!! What was going through your mind as you wrote this poor, boring, mind blowingly (and numbingly) DULL and dreadful script!

How they even got the funding to do this film is like beyond me. Uwe Boll films are BETTER then this. For crying out loud.

There is zero character progression. There is no worthwhile story. Everything happens for no particular reason. Some single event that transpired in the middle east caused Hayden and Nick to travel to China.....done.... nice..... *facepalm* And from there they end up being involved in some Chinese royalist jibber jabber blah blah thats been seen 5000 times by now. The action is lackluster... no typical Chinese cinema special effects or such which could have added substantially to the film. The film feels insanely rushed....yet at the same time you end up sitting there... waiting for it to be over so its actually also painfully long. Whether that makes any sense to you my dear reader is up to you. Im not watching this ever again. There are some really weird and corny...uncomfortably corny camera set- ups. Stuff that will make you think....ehm....okay....which is a small detail but enough to make an already bad film worse.

It couldn't get more painfully boring if they tried. There is nothing Chinese as such over this film too. Everybody speaks English. This is the worst accent I've ever heard Nic Cage make in my life and it pains me to say this cause' I love the guy. He's awesome...but god damn it... this is dreadful.

Imagine Nic Cage role playing with a bunch of dudes in the forest...making medieval'ish accents... Lad...and blah blah...yea...thats the film. I cannot believe the director allowed it. With that said...the director is NOT EVEN A DIRECTOR. he's an assistant director who's never made a film before. WHy Hayden!? Why Cage?! Why anyone in this film...why are you taking part in a disaster like this?! This was doomed before it even began.

my god...this year and video games....this year and films... this is horrific. As if "Left Behind" wasn't bad enough.

*sigh*

I kept asking myself through the film. Who is this made for? because it sure as hell isn't the Nic Cage fan boys...its not the guys loving action. its NOT a Chinese audience... its basically not any audience this film might ...could....appeal to. So who then? Is it to advance the career of the actors? because this film will most certainly NOT accomplish that. Is it a directorial debut? Evidently yes... Congratulations Nick Powell...you messed yours up BADLY!

My god... Why why why why why! Why is it so incomprehensibly difficult to just make a good film. Why Hayden...from Star Wars signed up for this is anyones guess... Nic Cage...FIRE YOUR AGENT! Like RIGHT NOW! if you love your fans... fire that "agent" of yours and start making films like Tokarev...like Bad lieutenant... like Kick Ass... like The Frozen Ground. Cool and great stuff. Stuff that shows you for what you are. A damn good actor!

Stop participating in this garbage! PLEASE! For the sake of your fans! For our health... stop it!

This film hasn't got anything to offer anyone. You wont learn anything you don't already know. You will not take anything away from it. based on that this has absolutely no r

Fmovies: I am voting this 10, as I found it very entertaining, and can't believe how negative the reviewers are here. I watch a lot of Asian drama, subtitled, and I was thrilled to see an attempt to bridge the gap this way. When you watch subtitled drama, you soon find out that the bilingual Western actors are embarrassingly bad. It was a joy to have the movie all in English, with all the things I love most about Asian cinema...great direction, cinematography, action, and pacing. Never a dull moment. Cage was unnecessary,except as an attention-getting name. As for the literally-minded out there...go watch a documentary. Suspending disbelief is a necessary talent when watching drama. You get to focus on other things. My only complaint is I would have enjoyed more martial arts by some of the talented cast. More please!

when i saw it had Nicholas cage and Hayden Christensen i was interested in the film but after about 5 minutes into the film with them pulling off such bad accents and sounding so wrong i soon regretted the film.

The script itself, it shines hardly any light on any of the characters and doesn't not give them any actual background history.

the fight scenes are horrible though, it seems that giving anyone any skill in a film is lacked in this, people swinging around their swords even though are are in positions that they should be better. i mean as there is no art behind their weapons, which from the east is wrong as films dated from those times show people with great skill and there were none in this film

Hayden Christensen - from being in star wars and working so closely with swordplay moves (( from using a light sabre )) he has shown no skill in using a sword in this film at all ... he is a playing a drunk dumb soldier with no real plot to stand on for being the way he is.

Nicholas Cage - from being revered to being feared, once when he was cast in a film it would of been a must see but come of late he has been horrible in acting, and in choosing the right roles for himself. - his acting in this was as he had never acted before and his accent was terrible as it just seemed to have sounded wrong.

this film was a huge disappointment and it was a huge waste of time.

Outcast fmovies. This movie doesn't score great. I've read most reviews and I don't agree. Things about not being correct, so what.

This is a good action movie with, and that's a plus, a nice story. It's not a documentary, it's not a "based on true facts", it's a story to entertain you.

Just enjoy it, as I did.

And by the way, I watched it three times now. I don't choose a movie just because it's near to any truth, or believable. I want to be entertained.

I just wonder. Would any of the critics here criticize a book in the same way, or some piece of music?

It's a good thing that I chose to disregard the other critics and view this one anyway...it turned out to be pretty good. Sure, Nick Cage isn't on screen very much, but it's still a good story; it has some great cinematography, is well-acted and has good production values. It starts out during the Crusades, but doesn't stay there very long...it moves to the far east, and the characters from the beginning come into play later on. The fight scenes are directed kind of shaky(like Gladiator), but are still well-choreographed. I was expecting some kind of low-budget B movie with bad-acting, but I was actually pretty impressed with this one.

What has happened to Nicolas Cage? His last few films have become a torment to watch, Outcast included.

The film starts with some very bad English accents and this is the only thing that is worse than the story line and the acting.

Has Hollywood given up on Cage? have we seen the golden boy of Hollywood last stand, if so, which film was his last great effort?

Don't get me wrong, I am huge Cage fan, but these films look like he's paying off a gambling debt and has no choice to make them. I know in Hollywood, actors make some iffy films to make the projects they care about come to life, but how many iffy films does cage need to make to get his dream project off the ground, I fear he's made one too many.
