Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

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.

Saw this little movie "Out In Fifty" that probably nobody in the world saw. Leet plays ex- convict killer Ray Frye from Mississippi pitch perfectly. What amazed me most was Leet's emotional depth with the character. I really wanted this ex-con, who's just trying to walk the straight line and get a second chance at life, to succeed and realize his dreams. The guy had me in tears at one point when he tells Gloria, the woman he loves, that he's been ruined and that she shouldn't want to be with him. The other thing that also struck me was how beautiful Mr. Leet is. There's a sweetness to him. Like he's a tough softie. I love that.Great face. Great actor.

This is a desperate attempt to be an edgy film but it fails miserably. You know you're in trouble when a film relies on cameos to keep things interesting. "Out in Fifty" is no exception. Appearances by Christina Applegate, Balthazar Getty, and Alexis Arquette don't do anything to forward the plot. They all do a fine job but are given extremely little screen time. Mickey Rourke is absolutely pathetic in his role and really should consider giving up acting. "Out in Fifty" is filmed with a lot of quick takes in spots, which is more likely to induce a seizure rather than make you more excited about the movie. The "plot" involves a guy who is celebrating his 21st birthday in a bar. A young woman picks him up and they have some rough sex. He ends up accidentally killing her and goes to prison for manslaughter. Seven years later he is released and the woman's husband, a cop, becomes obsessed with making the guy's life very difficult. There is also a side plot involving the ex-con and the couple he moves in with. It's all really rather dull and meaningless. 2/10

I dont get movies like this. It's just cable filler. Dull scene after dull scene and a lot of bad acting. Oh man. Rourke needs to be more picky with his choice of projects. He was one of the greats, once upon a time...
