[edit] Plot
The film centers around a group of men who after being wronged by society and a failing legal system in modern day Britain decide to take the law into their own hands as a vigilante mob.
[edit] Trivia
A lot of the funding for this film came from fans of Nick Love who paid between £10 and £100 for various perks such as inside information on the movie, merchandise and, for those who paid £100, a chance at being an extra in the film.
From imdb.com: Nick Love is basing the screenplay on newspaper stories and anecdotes he's been told from people all over the country. The narrative will be fictional, but many of the incidents portrayed will be based on fact.
[edit] Reception
The film has opened to mainly mixed reviews, The Daily Mirror slammed the film calling it 'simplistic' and 'muddled', and gave it 2 out 5 and 1 out of 5, in their Friday and Sunday issues respectively.
Some media outlets have praised the film however, such as The Independent, News of the World and The Guardian, The News of the World described the film as 'bold' and gave it 4 stars out of 5.
The film has been criticised by many however for its excessive violence, but this is in common with most of Nick Love's films such as The Business and The Football Factory.
Outlaw entered the UK box office at Number 5 in its first week, good considering that many other films were released during that week, and actually performed as good if not better at the cinema so far than The Business and The Football Factory
