Our friends Evelyn and Ron loaned us this DVD. Nothing much ground-breaking here, but it does gives us a chance to root for the good guys.Rob Lowe is Tom Casey, hard-working insurance salesman with a pregnant wife. Jennifer Grey, post-nose-job, is his wife Sally Casey. His car had been vandalized, and one evening he observes what looks like 3 high school boys, dressed in uniforms with neckties that suggest they are from wealthy families, getting ready to vandalize another neighborhood car. So he calls the police and asks them to check it out, and catch the boys in the act. They don't need to, but burglarize cars just for the thrill of it.Eric Michael Cole, in his early 20s, plays the leader of the brats, Jeffrey Bateman. He is the smart, talented one whose mother happens to be a very good lawyer. He has two friends who cruise with him, but they just go along with Jerrey's mischief.The rest of the 90-minute movie is about Jeffrey taking revenge for Tom having been responsible for their arrest. They terrorize him and his wife in very drastic ways, stopping short of physical harm.SPOILERS FOLLOW: Tom even has to spend 15 days in jail for a felony firearm possession rap, because the boys find a loaded gun in his car when they are vandalizing it. When he gets out, they apparently abduct his pregnant wife. They lead him, via coded messages, on a chase all over town. Finally Jeffrey is caught in his lie, and arrested. My only regret, in the movie, was that Tom never had a just cause to shoot the kid through the temple.

This is one of my favorite movies! Rob Lowe plays a man named Tom Casey who has a pregnant wife(Jennifer Grey). He sees three punks breaking into a car. He reports them to the police but guess what? The punks found a gun in his car so while they get a slap on the wrist, he has to get a lawyer. Tom spends fifteen days in jail and hates the world when he gets out. If those punks push him any further.......I have never been a fan of Rob Lowe, but I really liked him in this movie. He has a lot of chemistry with Jennifer Grey, who does the best she can with her character. The actors playing the punks were great, they made their characters entertaining. Fulvio Cevere is solid as Rob Lowe's friend.

In addition to everyone else's comments and reviews, I'd like to mention that this movie portrays two excellent social commentaries: one, the sad injustices of the justice system and two, the true, full scope of the very nature and character of violence on a universal level. Violence, in all its forms, have stages, and OUTRAGE presents most of them from the mildest to the most severe. And like drugs, after the kicks of a mild level of violence loses its appeal and purpose, a stronger dose is needed to get the initial feeling again. And then even a stronger dose than that, and so on, until lines are overstepped, things gets serious and lives are ruined. The parallels between drugs and violence are so uncannily exact, OUTRAGE is almost a sociology study. Especially that juvenile crime is not exclusively a problem among the poor. That the rich, who are bored, with everything handed to them, and with social prestige in the community feels is above the law. So, if you want to see fine writing, fine acting, believable characters you care about and can recognize in people you've met, a good suspenseful thriller -- and the most extraordinary social commentaries that will pull some heartstrings, DON'T MISS "OUTRAGE!"

Outrage is a funny light hearted film about a group of rebelious teenagers who decide to take a joke a bit too far. The lead actor, Eric michael Cole, harasses Rob lowe in various ways making him eventually Snap.I advise you to see this if your a fan of Eric michael Cole. If anyone has a copy of this movie please e-mail me as i would love to buy it.
