“Out Of Exile” (*1/2 of four) was a grindingly unpleasant pulp melodrama about a recently paroled thief (Adam Hampton) who falls right back into the criminal underworld upon his release and has to keep parole, the cops, and the Feds off balance as he tries one last score. Film attempts to be stark and gritty but you’ll be numbed by the sleaze and rampant ugliness after a while. One-time great character actor Peter Greene and Jake “The Snake” Roberts pop up in small roles but this is unlikely to save either one of their careers from “exile.”
