Outcast at least has the benefit of a crazy, over-the-top Cage performance that gives this horrendous film a few hilarious moments.

| Original Score: F | Apr 17, 2015

The status of actor Nicolas Cage's career has now definitively shifted from its entertainingly eccentric phase into its genuinely befuddling and perhaps sad phase.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 6, 2015

A China-set, 12th-century action drama that cuts with the blatancy of a broadsword.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 6, 2015

The barnacle-encrusted plot, which pits little Prince Zhao (Bill Su Jiahang), the rightful heir to the emperor's throne, against his murderous older brother, Shing (Andy On), is dumbed down to the studs.

Outcast feels sort of like a Chinese pseudo-historical soap opera that's been crashed by a couple of white dudes, forcing everyone to speak English with vaguely British accents.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 5, 2015

The film may be best remembered for costar Nicolas Cage's warrior coif, perhaps his most unflattering movie hairdo yet - and that's saying a lot.

| Feb 5, 2015

Stunt man Nicholas Powell helms, his directing debut, showing little regard for characters or story.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 5, 2015

Given the state of Nicolas Cage's résumé, it's faint praise to say this samurai tale is slightly better than most of his recent movies.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 4, 2015
