Christine takes her best friend with another couple for a final vacation when she goes to close up and sell her family's hunting lodge in the remote woods of Northern Georgia...but it's also the scene of her worst childhood trauma. Things get worse when it turns out the lodge is in use by an ex-military sniper, Farragut and his three accomplice, the Loomis brothers, as a hideout who just escaped from a military prison.

Outrage is like watching someone commit suicide by cutting their throat with a spoon. For an hour and a half, they're just hacking and sawing and stabbing and scraping until you practically want to reach over and help them get it over with. What's being killed here, besides the audience's will to live, is the show business careers of writer Chris Soth, actor/director Ace Cruz and actor/producer Paulyd, nee Paul D'Agnese. I can't imagine any of those gentlemen getting another job in Hollywood or anywhere else movies are made. Not at a studio. Not at a production company. Not waiting tables at a restaurant, walking dogs or dressing up like Willy Wonka and posing for pictures with tourists. Outrage is so existentially awful that Soth, Cruz and D'Agnese probably can't even sell sperm or donate blood in the greater Los Angeles area. Forget about not working in that town again. These guys have been removed from the gene pool.It's sad to see Michael Berryman in this insultingly ill conceived, pathetically graceless and astonishingly incompetent debacle, but it's not like he ever had that much of a career. A man's got to eat, after all. For Michael Madsen and Natasha Lyonne to be found wallowing in this stinking pit of dirt, slime and excrement like a couple of hogs desperately trying to escape the heat…that's almost heartbreaking. Professional sports leagues have taken to holding seminars for rookie players about managing their finances so they don't blow their newfound millions on drugs or bad investments and wind up penniless when their athletic careers are over. Well, somebody should do the same thing for young actors. They should sit them down in a room, make they watch Reservoir Dogs or Slums of Beverly Hills and then force them to view this piece o' crap. The only way anyone with actual talent winds up in something like Outrage is when you're either permanently high, need money more than you need to breathe or have burned down and then salted the earth of every relationship you ever had in the entertainment industry. Madsen or Lyonne doing commercials for hemorrhoid cream would be a step up from this thing.About the only thing you can say for this motion picture is that someone obviously made a real effort to take a mass of howlingly stupid and incoherent footage and edit it together into something vaguely comprehensible. And while I admire the commitment to salvaging something out of this abhorrent disaster, they would have been better off rearranging the scenes under the guidance of a Magic 8 Ball and making the soundtrack a non-stop loop of the Benny Hill theme.The theme of Outrage is that it's the anger in your heart that attracts bad things to you in life, but I could be a serial killer and it wouldn't justify being subjected to this shoddy trash. Narrated by the unholy offspring of Sling Blade and Forrest Gump (Paulyd), the story concerns Christine (Katie Founatain) and her three friends going out to sell the colossal cabin of Christine's dead father. There's her sort of boyfriend Try (Ace Cruz) and two annoying urbanites (Derek Lee Nixon and Natasha Lyonne). Once they arrive, the quartet is set upon by some dude with a rifle (Michael Madsen) and his three inbred, mountain man accomplices. People get killed, somebody turns into a ghost, there's a mute with a banjo and a tuning fork, magic rocks are involved and it's all revealed to be one big, idiotic scam. I seriously do not have the strength of will to go into any more detail. It's that bad.I usually like to give at least one specific example of how much a movie sucks, but Outrage befuddles me. It is like the crayon scribbling of a 6 year old and defies critical analysis. I feel like I should pat these filmmakers on the head and say "Well, at least you pointed the camera in the right direction most of the time".This is one of the worst bits of alleged cinema it has ever been by misfortune to witness. Staring directly into the sun for 90 minutes would be a better use of your time.

The movie is different because it has a great lesson to learn about. The thrilling actions are fantastic which will make you think as if there is no possible solution to get out of that worst situation. Everything part of the movie is unpredictable which makes it to be more interesting. Unlike other movies, this one is not only focused on giving thrill but also to give the best enjoyment by making you to be more curious of what will be happening next. Only few movies have indeed become successful in showing a Sci-Fi story that makes you learn something. When I saw the first part of the movie I thought this movie as some kind of action-thriller movies but after going to the middle part of the movie everything you expect is not what is happening and so curiosity comes into my mind again. I can say that every part seems to be giving more thrill especially that actors such as Michael Madsen is playing the role greatly. Director Ace Cruz has indeed made this movie to be one of a kind as it shows far better scenes than what you could see in some costly movies. This is one of the best Sci-Fi movie in this generation that you will want to see again. Great job Ace Cruz for making a great movie that has a superb story.

Despite that this film is another low budget film of Michael Madsen. I thought it was great! If you look at what the film makers had to work with and the conditions one must endure to make a low budget film. This film rates a 10 in my book. So it's not your 100 million dollar film. You can't compare a well executed film done with hardly no money to be perfect, but the added plot of the ghost coming out of the body was an interesting idea. This movie was fast pace and entertained me through out the whole movie. I have seen a lot of low budget films and it does not even compare to this little film. thumbs up to the filmmakers that did this. Keep on making films. It was a fun film!

I was at the screening in Atlanta, Ga., and the movie not only made me think, but the spirituality aspect of the movie, is what drew me in. The message was tremendous! I was on the edge of my seat.Yes, Billy (played by Pauly D) was quite funny in some parts, which I feel was a nice contrast to the very serious goings on, that were necessary to get the point across. In addition to his comedic talent, I feel Pauly D deserves accolades for his true and spot-on portrayal of Billy. Great job! Also, upon overhearing a few people discussing the cost of the film, I was privy to the figure being more like $2.5M. I don't know where the figure $400K came from.As for Ace, Great job acting and directing. Really enjoy your work both on and off the screen.PaulyD: yombtnwthimi
