Although The Outside Man has some good moments, it also includes some embarrassingly laughable scenes. The legal authorities are universally inept and inconsequential throughout the film, almost to the point where the L.A. police look like the Keystone Kops, while the two assassins are discharging serious amounts of firepower in the city. Overall, The Outside Man is not especially worth your time based on its merit alone. On the other hand, baby boomers may find this film enjoyable because of the way it fills the minimum daily requirement for 1970s nostalgia. — Johnny Web
