“Outlawed” (**1/2 out of four) was a better-than-average action melodrama about a former commando (Adam Collins who also co-directed) struggling to adjust to civilian life when a former girlfriend (Jessica Norris) comes to him to uncover the truth behind her father’s mysterious death and finds himself in a shadow conspiracy involving the governnment and corruption. Story is nothing you haven’t seen before 100 times from Chuck Norris or Steven Seagal but Collins does a reasonable job on both sides of the camera and keeps this moving efficiently with enough gunplay and hand-to-hand combat to make it worthwhile for action junkies.
