50/50 June 25, 2009 The Ram (Ct./ USA) This movie had some good acting, but pathetic directing. It is very low budget, and it plays to a tired theme...However, Mickey Rourke was very good.....and there were some cameos (which didn`t help much).. Scott Leet was trying too hard to be Clint Eastwood. I imagine Mickey did this movie as a favor to some friends. Interesting, but a bit of a failure.
Ignore those who have no talent! June 6, 2005 D. D. Braginsky (Westville, CT United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
True, this is a B movie. But, being an exremely successful person in the "biz", I can speak with authority and as an artist, clearly stating that MICKEY ROURKE is the greatest american actor. With that said and Rourke's career back on A-list status as the star of SIN CITY and SPUN, it is well worth the price of admission.
Scott Leet blew me away!!! May 7, 2005 Susannawanna (Miami, Florida USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Wow! I wasn't expecting much watching this little movie "Out In Fifty" one night at home with my boyfriend. But then at one point, I totally found myself engrossed watching this guy Scott Leet, who was playing this ex-con trying to get a second chance at life after getting out of prison. I mean, me and my boyfriend were sitting there like totally in tears and suddenly we realized we were watching this amazing talent. Scott Leet totally blew us away! I mean he was totally ripped, totally COOL, totally...just mesmerizing. He reminded us a lot of a young Clint Eastwood, xcept with lots more vulnerability. Scott Leet could totally win an Academy Award someday. He's really amazing. And gorgeous too.
BAD GUYS WIN EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE May 4, 2005 Michael Butts (Martinsburg, WV USA) OUT IN FIFTY is a "noirish" type film written produced and directed by its two leading actors: Scott Leet and BoJesse Christopher. Their film is commendable because they don't follow many of the cliches of this genre. Leet instills his role of Ray Frye with a quiet passion, and although he'll never win any Oscars, his laid back portrayal almost saves the movie. Unfortunately, Mickey Rourke, the King of Movie Sleaze, portrays a cop that no police department should ever employ. He is ruthless, vindictive, judgmental, an alcoholic and drug addict, and he has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Bojesse meanwhile has a manic Jim Carrey freneticism that works well for a while in his role as Ray's "savior." However, the subplot with him and his seductive sister-in-law comes out of nowhere, and his wife's involvement (Nina Ofenbock) seems pretty far-fetched. The film "boasts" cameos from Christina Applegate (who has two brief scenes), Balthazar Getty (maybe two minutes) and Alexis Arquette (maybe 30 seconds in a stupid drag role). The ending is a real downer and it proves the old adage, "Bad guys win every once in a while." Although slow paced, the movie isn't boring, just soulless.
A PRETTY GOOD FILM! January 14, 2005 Justine Ryan (Melbourne, Australia) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I intially first bought this film for $3.00 at Big W and becuase Mickey Rourke is my all time favourite actor. I hadn't seen it before and after purchasing this I saw on the back cover that actor Bojesse Christopher directed it, who I like a lot from many 80's films, he's pretty cool. Looking at the cover I thought that it would probably be just OK, nothing special like so many other films I've seen in my life time. But this was not the case. Though the feel of it is low budget, it is pretty good. I thought it has a lotta heart about it. Scott Leet to me was pretty incredable. Leet and his love interest was really interesting. There really was something about this film that is different than a lot of other stuff I've seen.
