Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

PeterMitchell-506-564364 I admit, there are parts of this movie which are incredibly dumb. A lot of it owes, the incredibly poor script. But I really liked the fast paced flow of the movie. And we have a new action hero, Anthony Michael Hall. Yeah, right? Yeah too f..in' right. He rocks in the movie, that's a perfect vehicle for him, after the string of John Hughes films prior. He plays a farm boy, Daryl, in Iowa, and we see his miserable self, out there on the tractor working the farm. Some youngies speeding along in a red convertible, yell something to him, from a far, though I couldn't make out what it was, but I'm pretty sure they were dissing him. His parents have been arguing over Daryl's future, and we get a taste of their fracas's. At the advice of his Mother, he's sent out to L.A. to live with his brother. After having some wet dreams on the plane, he meets a would be actress, Dizz, sitting next to him. He makes one fatal mistake that costs him his older brother and fiancée's life, only the start of a bigger body count in the film, though we can't forget the poor sod at the start, who also made the fatal mistake of being a savior to the wrong guy, a drug trafficker, and psychopathic Kober, a great character actor of evil. Daryl had picked up the wrong duffel bag, an identical one to his-what are the chances? This bag worth killing for, contains H. Now, you're asking yourself, how did Kober not find Daryl at his brothers. He was in a segregated outhouse concealed coolly by a hedge. Now Daryl's on the run, with the H, and it isn't long before he's up to his neck in trouble. But this is the thrill ride, Hall, hijacking a bikie was great stuff, while nearly being blown away by a cop, while making a righteous phone call. He's soon reunited with Dizz, his only chance, of clearing himself, and taking pr..k Kober down. We really get to see a bit of L.A's underworld, Dizz and Daryl, putting it out there, he has what Kober's after, and soon enough they're being pursued by this psycho, where in the mean time, more bodies show up + a dead mouse, crushed by Kober's merciless hand. I though the way Kober died was stupid though, with Daryl, just happening to be a champion knife thrower. OOB has some pumping rock scores too, but I liked the energy of the film, regardless of the stupidity or realism, but the latter is not really why we go to the movies, now is it.

Rodrigo Amaro Here's something almost enjoyable with many 1980's elements we all love to see on the screen but it just doesn't hold up all that well for too long, becoming very confusing and tiring to finally get to one conclusion: poor film. With clichés being thrown at its audience in several directions, "Out of Bounds" is about a country boy (Anthony Michael Hall) who is sent to California to visit his older brother when a mix with the bags has him chased by the police and by dangerous drug dealers (parts of Jeff Kober and Raymond J. Barry) who are looking for the content in their bag (lots of drugs). His only help comes from a girl (Jenny Wright) he met on the plane and who'll try to find a way out of this situation. The script isn't so terrible but it's deeply problematic. But everything's so unbelievable! All of sudden this well-mannered, almost shy kid with just a change of clothes can manage to be a hot shot who deals with the cool kids in town, or fire weapons at bad guys. There wasn't much time to dwell on his background but the very few given offers so little that you wonder where did he learn to survive in this concrete jungle armed to the teeth. It's a successful succession of blunders one after another in this story (the worse being when the drug dealer notices that the bags were changed. He's hold on a line, looks to someone carrying a similar bag and goes chasing the guy (which is the hero). Ridiculous moment. It entertains a little, offers some fine action sequences and invests a little in dramatic efforts. The few merits of this goes to Anthony Michael Hall making a good pair with Jenny Wright, they were a good team escaping from the excesses common to flicks like this with those love/hate relationships, it's nothing like that in here. Best in the show was the detective played by Glynn Turman, very good acting. The guys playing the villains are trapped in the common place category: do the bad guy face, kill some people and that's it. Meat Loaf was reduced to two scenes and I couldn't understand why he was there anyway. Stewart Copeland found some good themes for the movie's score; there's a good-looking use of The Smiths in one funny scene after Hall's transformation of character; and there's a fun cameo from Siouxsie and the Banshees. And an award should be given to the sound mixers and editors from this piece. The sound sucked terribly, worst sound mixing ever! The soundtrack and some of the dialogs are too in the foreground, highlighted but all the rest goes unheard, you can't hear the footsteps when the characters are running or walking. Lame.It goes so fast at parts, so messy that the most awaited moment is for its ending to come because by that time it already became something you don't follow anymore. If nostalgia hits you well, go pick another movie from that glorious decade. This doesn't worth much of a curiosity really. 4/10

dansview I don't know if Anthony Michael Hall was trying to be a minimalist in this one, given the character's farm background, or if he just acted poorly. He mumbles and never changes his facial expression.Also, he never breaks down and faces the intense reality of what happened to his brother. But perhaps adrenalin kicks in when you're on the run, and there's no time to sit and contemplate.*The huge plot hole is the fact that he struggles with a repair man right after discovering his brother's dead body, and he accidentally shoots the repair guy. You never hear a word about that again. No guilt, no mention from the cops, no nothing.Having said all this, I loved the movie. It shows you how your life can change dramatically overnight. The scenes of 80s synth bands in Hollywood nightclubs are priceless, and Jenny Wright was like a non-singing Cyndi Lauper, who was a famous singer at the same time. Wright was natural and considerably entertaining.Also, the bad guy was chilling and believable. Jeff Kober portrayed a sadist and sociopath. There ARE such characters. He looks like a big dude in this, but in reality, he's average size, according to his bio.If you like 80s pop culture and crime/action pictures set in the streets of L.A., you should enjoy this one. Don't forget to check out No Man's Land too. It's better and stars Charlie Sheen.

Semira Ariana I didn't think I would like this movie and I actually only watched it because I am a huge Anthony Michael Hall fan but it did end up surprising me with how into it I became.The plot line is very generic.. or would be since a lot more movies have been made like it since then but the acting and directing of the movie is very good and still pulls you into it.Anthony Michael Halls acting is once again flawless and natural, it just shows how great his range of abilities is as an actor. The female lead annoyed me a bit but that's just my opinion.. i found her voice annoying.Overall a great movie with great acting. 7/10 just because I didn't like the gore in it, it's very minimum but if your queasy be guarded.
