Outrage! (1986 TV Movie)
8/10
Excellent court drama

For those who crave for this kind of stuff - I do not - that's a pretty good story, strongly held, and very daring against the penal system in the USA. In France, we would not be so courageous. And I agree with another comment, in which it is said that Robert Preston is maybe not the real lead of this movie. Beau Bridges brings maybe one of his best performances ever. But Bob Preston, in his last role, is very good too, and Mel Ferre too. And I also want to add something, in the scene at the beginning, where Bob Preston shoots and kills the Black man responsible for his daughter's death, watch out the way he holds his gun and his body with legs bent. For a common law abiding citizen; I think he looks like an elite cop, as we always see in crime movies or series. I also guess that the producers and other film maker should have paid attention to this kind of details. It is clumsy for the production not to ask Preston TO BE CLUMSY, sweet irony isn't it? It is clumsy to show a poor common American to behave like an elite cop, clumsy if you compare with the exceptional quality of the rest of this awesome piece of work. That's my own opinion.
