Review
“The Outsider” is a film based on a novel of the same name by Stephen King and directed by Martin Scorsese. The movie premiered on March 9, 2018, and has been receiving mixed reviews from critics. However, it has gained a considerable fan following due to its suspenseful storytelling and intense performances by its cast.
The film follows the story of a mysterious stranger named Jack (Jared Leto) who finds himself in Japan shortly after the end of World War II. Jack becomes embroiled in the internal power struggles of the yakuza, the Japanese mafia, and eventually rises through their ranks to become an insider.
Jared Leto’s performance as Jack is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the film. He captures the character’s isolation and sense of detachment from society with great depth and nuance. Although his character is not necessarily likable, he manages to keep the audience engaged with his enigmatic presence.
The supporting cast also brings their A-game as they help build up the world around Jack. Tadanobu Asano plays Kiyoshi, an ambitious yakuza boss who sees potential in Jack and helps him rise through the ranks. Shioli Kutsuna plays Akiko, Kiyoshi’s sister who forms a romantic connection with Jack despite being betrothed to another man.
The film’s score plays an integral role in setting up its suspenseful tone. The music is composed by Atticus Ross and Leopold Ross, two brothers who have worked on several other projects together like “The Social Network” and “Gone Girl.” The music combines elements of traditional Japanese instruments with modern electronic sounds to create something entirely unique yet familiar.
Filming took place in Japan with Martin Scorsese at the helm directing each scene masterfully. Shot on location in Osaka Castle Park and various other locations across Japan, Scorsese’s imagination in creating stunning visuals never disappoints.
Critics have praised the film’s gritty, realistic portrayal of Japan’s post-war period and its complex political dynamics. However, many critics feel that the film’s portrayal of Japan is overly simplistic and plays into stereotypes of the country. Some have also criticized the pacing of the movie, saying that it is slow to get started.
Despite the mixed reviews, “The Outsider” has gained a significant fan following since its release. The action sequences are intense and gripping, and the film’s exploration of yakuza culture is fascinating. Fans have also praised Leto’s performance as well as the supporting cast.
One particular scene that stands out is when Jack first meets Kiyoshi in a Japanese prison. The tension in this scene is palpable, with both characters sizing each other up to see if they can be trusted. It’s a masterclass in acting by both Jared Leto and Tadanobu Asano, leaving you on edge throughout.
The film’s special effects are impressive but not overused, adding to its overall atmosphere without feeling gimmicky or distracting from the story. The dialogue between characters feels natural yet still manages to convey important information about character motivations and plot developments.
Overall “The Outsider” may not be for everyone due to its pacing and certain elements critics suggest aren’t accurate enough in some respects. Nevertheless, fans of suspenseful dramas will find plenty to enjoy here with a compelling story that keeps you on edge throughout along with great performances from each of its cast members making it worth watching for anyone who appreciates creative filmmaking.
