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...

Unless you want to flush 95 minutes of your life down the drain, "Out in Fifty" is certainly a movie worth missing. This is truly a mixed up mess. Scott Leet seems to be trying to perfect a Clint Eastwood imitation. Mickey Rourke comes in and out of the film only to mumble his lines, take a drink, and threaten Leet for the umpteenth time. Everyone is so self indulgent that there are zero likable characters. As for the screenplay, it is severely disjointed and quite dull. Tens of minutes seem like an eternity, with nothing of interest on the screen. In short, the movie is talky to the extreme, with shaky camera, and a so what story line. Avoid. - MERK

Here we have the basic formula for a revenge story. Mickey Rourke stars as cop whose wife is accidentally killed one evening whilst entertaining a strange young man. He then starts stalking the convict on his release.....which leads to Rourke's lust for revenge. Had the story been this straight forward on screen then it surely would've bored me to tears, but the films eccentric characters and the complex relationships within the film carry it completely. Balthazar Getty makes a cameo as a whacked out pimp/motel owner Overall well worth a look.It's unlikely you'll see Rourke in a low budget movie again, since his career has taken off again (finally), so check this out if your a fan.

exceptional soundtrack i can say....for this film with Mickey playin' this guy -Jack- who's wife was accidently killed by a young man --Raymond Fry...now Raymond is out of jail (on parole) and the only thing he wants is peace of mind and to see his little son.But Jack's life is ruined after his wife's death...he is an alcoholic, drug addicted detective and he wants to get even for his loss...So, he follows Ray and gives him a hard time. Raymond finds a good friend who offers him a job with good money (for an ex-con). Everything seems to go fine (except from Jack never leaving him alone..) for Ray, that has a good heart and he is a decent and straight person. But things go wrong with his friend and his friend's wife....the situation becomes messy and Ray gets into the eye of the cyclone...Great, sunny atmosphere, beautiful colors and scenery, a lot of classic "Mickey attitude" that will satisfy his fans, some action and romance.RECOMMENDED!
