Each time someone died, I started to wish it was me.

Definitely needed a white dude.

This review is going to be extremely short because Martin Zandvliet wasted my time and I won’t waste yours. This film comes down to just a few simple questions, such as why was this actually made? What does The Outsider have to say for itself in the two hour running time? What actually happens? The answer to all is quite simple, nothing. The Outsider is an absolute waste of every persons time, from the lighting to the acting coaches. With all its potential the final product or whatever it is  is sacrilege. I found two things here acceptable, and even then I can find faults. How it’s shot, and the Japanese actors. That. Is. All.

netflix please stop making movies

Yet another average at best Netflix film that people feel the need to be overly harsh on, The Outsider offers some strong performances (especially from Tadanobu Asano) and slick cinematography but suffers from a hopelessly generic script and sluggish pacing.

Had an interesting dream last night that involved me and Jared Leto and other weird dreamworld related stuff. After work I was gonna watch one of his films "Highway" but came across this title instead as it looked interesting.

Story was alright but the pace was very slow and not much action.
Jared speaks softly in this that I had to put on my headphones.

When watching the trailer this song "Nightmares" or its called "Madness" (now that I'm listening to it more it does sound like Madness) was playing and captivated me and is only used for the trailer and not in the film.

Literally worse than dying while fumbling through an unrehearsed impromptu speech about a subject you know nothing about in front of a large crowd before having your dead body shat on.

White Savior Action 🤾🏻

It's said so often in regards to bad movies, but there really is no reason to care about anything Jared Leto does in this movie. His journey, despite eclipsing two hours, never really engaged me, and his performance consisting solely of intense stares and emotionless line delivery didn't either. It's just a puzzling movie in almost every way. Who wanted this? Why was this made? It's not goofy enough to be fun, and not smart enough to warrant it's unbending sincerity. It's polished into featureless-ness, and generic to a crippling fault. The Outsider, in a word, is dull. A bland film belonging to a genre that is anything but.

Nice to look at

Ok but why was he even in Japan in the first place

There are a lot of things Jared Leto has done right in life, from 30 Seconds To Mars to oscar worthy performances in the likes of 'Dallas Buyers Club,' but unfortunately, 'The Outsider' is not one of them.

Now I know why I constantly opted to skip the film on Netflix, lmao. Before I had even hit play a voice in the back of my mind began quietly whispering, "Jared Leto as a member of the fucking Yakuza, are you sure you want to do this to yourself?" 20 minutes into the film that whisper began screaming... "GET THE FUCK OUT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!"

All the colours and money in the world couldn't save this, especially not poor Jared Leto.

What a painfully uninspired movie. Jared Leto just sucks as an actor hands down, and the pacing was so mundane that when action happened I couldn't even be bothered to be interested. Yawn.

No. Simplemente no. Lenta y tediosa. Han hecho del mundo Yakuza algo extremadamente aburrido.

Irgendwie inhaltslos. Gute Bilder, gutes Schauspiel und die Gewalt ist beeindruckend, weil sie sehr realistisch wirkt. Am Ende bleibt es aber ein Film der mir ziemlich egal war, da er mir keinen Mehrwert liefern konnte außerhalb von Gewalt und Einblicke in die Traditionen der Yakuza.

The idea for this film was interesting. An American being taken in by the yakuza. It sounds like it could be a cool plot but my god NOOOO. So many plot holes throughout the film. Jared Leto was so bland. He had 2 outfits throughout the entire film and a constant bandage on his hand that should of been gone after 2 scenes. I didn’t care about a single character. Certain things happened throughout the film that was either not explained or just done out of the blue. Only watch if you want to see how bad this film really is. The only 2 good things about this film was the way it looked, the cinematography / style of the film looked great. And the violence in the film. It was brutal how the mob is. Other than that, BAD

way too many men for my liking

Yark! Just boring and pointless. Almost everything is bad in this movie, except costumes. 
I never seen a main character as annoying as he is. Please, I need to see Will Smith, he must erase my memory

En plus d'un scénario manquant cruellement d'originalité, la réal du film est banal et les plans s'enchainent sans aucun sens. Jared Letto est fantomatique, il a aucune réaction parce que en même temps il comprend absolument pas le japonais. Par contre si un mec l'insulte de blancos, ou blanc-bec, il le démarre au quart de tour.
Ha oui et cerise sur le gateau la fin est absolument éclatée

Seul point positif les costumes.

Jared Leto is Rob Lowe & Rob Lowe is Jared Leto. You know, that Hollywood doppelgänger thing. Anyway, Jared plays an American who joins the Yakuza. I like that shit & Japan and that, but mostly I was focused on Jared Leto being Rob Lowe & Rob Lowe being Jared Leto.

Despite it's best efforts, this is really nothing more than a generic yakuza movie. Jared Leto does make an impression on me, though, mostly in that I am impressed he got away with making the same facial expression for the entirety of the film.
