Good concept, poorly executed.

Absolutely Fantastic

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Out In Fifty, has got to be one of the worst movies i have ever watched. I can safely say i've gone through all of Mickey Rourke's films (including his catalogue of 90s trash), so you know i have sat through plenty of stinkers. Its hard to describe the film in a general sense, let alone do so in an endearing manner. Its misguided plot, unlikeable characters and penniless production value all leaving more to be desired. Even the most devoted Mickey Rourke fans, determined to see every film he's appeared in, are likely to struggle sitting through it all. Especially considering that Rourke isn't in the film anywhere near as much as he should. i cannot possibly list all the flaws; I haven't even enough space, nor does my dignity allow the time to devote. Mickey plays a man enraged by envy; caused by the murder of his wife, who was somehow killed while she cheated on him. Such backwards character foundation renders the character entirely impossible to relate to; and resultantly useless. The acting is unfortunately reminiscent of a porno constantly also; meaning every scene has a strange aesthetic which leaves one repulsed and laden with discomfort. Watch at your own risk, bearing these cautions in mind. I've done it - hopefully you now won't have to...

Where to begin....Well it has every hallmark of being a first time indie movie, not that this is a bad thing but it fails to rise above that. For instance, one hallmark of a no budget movie is to beg recognizable actors to do bit parts then have the main character go meet them for a 2 minute scene. Then come up with some way of going to see that person. Now repeat this about 50 times and you have this movie. Even Mickey Rourke as one of the two main actors looks bored in this.The camera is almost always hand-held. I was getting sick after about 10 minutes. The characters cliché. The renegade alcoholic or drug addicted cop, the ex-con trying to go straight. The plot easily predictable.Now I give the director/writer/star (same person) big credit for actually getting this made but what a mess.I can't recommend this to anyone. It's not gritty, edgy or anything like that. It's just a mess.

As much as I love Mickey,it has become evident that when he stars in a bad movie he gives a bad performance.Just like most of the stuff we've seen him in the 90's OUT IN FIFTY is a very poor movie and Rourke's performance here goes nowhere.In fact he seems totally disinterested. From the irritable intro to the end this film lingers on ,into oblivion. All the characters here are unwatchable.The plot,script and direction are weak to say the least. Luckily since this film it seems that Mickey Rourke is getting some richly deserved decent roles. The man deserves a break.He was afterall the most charismatic actor in the 80's. I await his comeback with bated breath.........but if one is expecting to capture his former glories in this movie......forget it.In fact avoid Out In Fifty with a vengence because it may put you off Mickey Rourke for good.

Out in fifty. No! More than 50 minutes of boring scenes. This movie did not in any way impress me and my friends. The plot is hard to pick up and the scenes are practically flat and bad. A guy gets imprisoned for accidentally killing a hooker whom he had sex wearing an underwear. And what's another guy doing in that same room? Sightseeing! The next scenes were all boring and nowhere to go. If you haven't got a thing to do, don't pick this movie up in the video store. Just go home and watch the latest news on TV or better yet watch a cartoon film.
