Lost Outlaw

Granted, I am not really overly keen on Westerns, as there is a heap of dubious movies out there. But I will admit that every now and again then there does come some gold to the surface in the Western genre. But when I sat down to watch the 2021 "Lost Outlaw" movie from writer and director Darrell Mapson, then I wasn't really harboring much of any expectations as I had never heard about it prior to now in 2022, as I sat down to watch it.

And truth be told, then I wasn't really much impressed with the storyline that Darrell Mapson managed to churn out here. The storyline felt too generic and didn't ever manage to get off of the ground. And that made for a rather monotonous and mundane movie experience. So yeah, "Lost Outlaw" wasn't really a particularly great movie.

The acting performances in "Lost Outlaw" were fairly okay for the most parts, so at least that counted for something. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble here, which is usually something I enjoy in movies. But for some reason that just hardly mattered in "Lost Outlaw", as I didn't get worked up about it.

There are far better Western movies out there, but I am sure that "Lost Outlaw" will provide the hardcore Western fans with some enjoyment. For me, while "Lost Outlaw" was a Western movie, it just lacked that particular Western atmosphere.

My rating of "Lost Outlaw" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

Well, hmmm. Not the best movie I've seen in a while. Right from the start it's pretty hooky. The acting is mostly poor, Jack, Quinn, and the gang don't do a very job, but the supporting cast is even worse. The retired sheriff and the Marshall seem ok and the two older guys were pretty funny as comedy relief but the story just lacks. It's obvious none of the cast really know how to ride a horse! The saving grace is the theme song, it's a real ear worm...

I'm sorry, this time I couldn't give ore stars than 5 and probably it deserves less. Unfortunately making a western movie with a very low budget is really hard and when the script is not good enough, the final result would be bad and this time it happened.

It lacks continuity, it looks that they shot the movie and then they edited everything almost randomly.

It's not very pleasant to see it, even because it seems they shot it in the backyard.

It's not credible, it doesn't give the idea of the old far west, and even the fight is just a farce. The actors are not good to handle the weapons they have and it's easy to understand that everything is fake... it's a movie, it's fiction, and there is no chance to think of reality.

I'm sorry, but it didn't work at all. The actors weren't so bad, but it lacks dialogue, the script is quite bad, or let's say, it's poor.

Anyway I know that everyone tried hard to make this movie possible, but... pity.

I enjoyed this movie. Most of the characters were believable and the two older miners were a fun addition to the plot. I especially enjoyed the performances of the two older brothers in the gang, Jack and Quinn, both very believable actors. The preacher, the mother and the US Marshall were also great in their roles. Some of the other characters were a little stiff and that slowed the plot a bit, but over all, it was a worthy effort.

Why make this movie? To wash money or to blow money?

Really bad directing, bad acting , bad script, just bad . Almost as if it was made by some High school kids.

The dialogue is like listening to molases. I had to switch off half way it was so bad.
