This viewer is a devoted B movie fan, and would consider himself more forgiving than some, but even he had a hard time sticking with this amateurish mess. Granted, it does have some effective, hilarious W.T.F. moments, but overall it's so inept, from start to finish, that any higher ambitions by the filmmakers - and they *are* there - aren't as well realized as they ought to be.
Part of the problem is the whole tone. It swerves from being truly bizarre to spiritual to comedic to straight faced, and director Ace Cruz - who also appears in the film as Trey - fails to make us care much about the inane characters, who, to be fair, have to spout some pretty silly dialogue. The themes are expressed in voice over by the character of Billy (Pauly D), the ultimate stereotyped redneck, who experiences an epiphany after he is struck by lightning.
The story proper has to do with sensitive young Christine (Katie Fountain), who travels with some friends to her family's remote hunting lodge in order to close it up and sell it, and is victimized by deranged former Army sniper Farragut (Michael Madsen) and his slovenly associates.
"Outrage" is tedious junk, and even an amusing performance by Madsen - who actually looks like he's enjoying himself - can't really save it. The always welcome Michael Berryman puts in an appearance as a mysterious forest dweller, as does Natasha Lyonne, but that's it in terms of actors that the audience can recognize. Not even a brief burst of over the top gore can make this movie worth sitting through. Its attempt to be shocking by including attempted rape is bungled as well. It plods along towards an uninspired finale with a supposedly surprising plot twist that just falls flat.
All in all, this really isn't worth anybody's time unless they're die hard Madsen completists.
Three out of 10.
