Film Review – Outsiders

It’s important to note that “Outsiders” is being sold as an alien encounter film, with the studio trying to lure an audience typically drawn to tales of weird happenings with strange invaders. There’s a component of the unknown to the screenplay, but this feature is most certainly not the experience marketing efforts are pushing. Instead of danger time with the grays, writer Tucker Morgan and director Delmar Washington hope to use genre fixings to best amplify their social realism material, which examines the experience of a few black characters moving into a remote southern town. There’s a movie to be made about racial hostility involving a specific situation of isolation, but “Outsiders” isn’t it. There’s early promise that something eerie is about to emerge once the plot gets rolling, but Washington doesn’t get the picture to a point of suspense or education, keeping the endeavor quite dull.
