Outlaw (18) <!-- none onestar twostar threestar fourstar fivestar -->

Nick Love continues his quite dispiriting anatomy of English yob culture. Sean Bean plays a former paratrooper returning from Iraq who finds himself disillusioned with society and disgusted with the failure of the authorities to protect its citizens. So he recruits a vigilante gang of various fellow malcontents and sets about pursuing a Daily Mail-style law enforcement upon select villains. Sadly, any investigation of Bean's potentially interesting character is soon abandoned in favour of violent set-pieces in which young men trade punches and, later, automatic gunfire.
