Type 'Danny Dyer Nick Love Outlaw Commentary' into YouTube if you want a laugh.


They have to be taking the piss. Best laugh of the day.

Went to the 4.50 showing in Naas Odeon. Loved it. Worryingly though, Myself and the missus were the only people in the cinema. Also a distinct lack of promo stuff in the foyer, not a poster in sight. Hope it was just the good weather keeping people away. That, and the 18 cert prob wouldn't help a daytime showing.

That IMDB rating keeps going up and up.

If the Sweeney opens up stronger than Dredd next week not only do I despair for the human race, I think I'll be physically sick.

Nick Love is incapable of making a good movie, case in point Outlaw. There is so much reprehensibly wrong with that film it hurts my fingers to type about it.

I hate to say..but the Sweeney will smash it in the UK..Ray Winstone and the fact it is The Sweeney will capture the older demographic and Plan B is well known to the kids

It's no THE `The Sweeney `though, is it?That's why I(and my mates) aren't going to bother.

It's supposed to be fucking awful.

The Sweeney looks shit and Plan 9 From Outer Space (or what ever his stupid name is) says Wobbery!

Which frankly, is enough to put me off!

I think I'll see Dredd again instead!  ;)

I was wondering about that since I'm pretty sure it's higher than it was this morning. Not that I put much stock in IMDb but I won't complain either.

I went to the Showcase in Brum for the 11.50 showing and it was surprisingly (and promisingly) busy!

And not much in the way of promo stuff at my local yesterday. The outside poster for Dredd is placed on the right hand side of the cinema, which youll never really pass, because to enter and exit the place, youll be inclined to be more on the left hand side. Clearly not Dredd fans! Though, both 2D and 3D versions are showing.

Good to hear! Each report of low attendance is like a little dagger in my heart.

Please please PLEASE don't flop....

Yeah same here!
Don't know if this is country wide  or just at my local but certainly Cineworld have been pretty crap promoting the film!
Likewise the poster has been placed on the right hand side, which I presume gets more traffic, while crap like the latest Adam Sandler movie gets the busier left side!
Also they're using the teaser poster and not the later poster to promote it! Pretty shoddy treatment, if you ask me!
Still not a bad audience turn out today for my third trip, on a blistering hot day, in the early afternoon.

My viewing is tomorrow. I cant believe my 16 year old daughter has already seen it. I am so glad some of my madness has rubbed off onto her.

Don't know whether you missed it but my showing last night was very busy!

my mate went to see it last night he said it was pretty packed at the Metrocentre.. i went again this afternoon and there was about 60-70 people in the screen. the cinema as a whole seemed quiet this might be because it was sunny in Newcastle for the first time since 1986..

I think there may have been 45ish at my screening? Though I'm crap at estimating stuff and things. It could've been higher.

MR. ELIMINATOR

Was pretty quite at both of mine, got another one on Tuesday, so maybe it will pick up by then. Universally positive reviews, plus word of mouth has got to do something, right? I just hope it's not too late as my cinema will most likely only screen it for a week, though maybe put it down into screen 2 for another.

Pretty sure everyone who saw it loved it though. It's just fucking solid.

Really hope we find out how well it does asap, need a sequel to look forward to as there is now a massive void in my life.

Also, Rebellion should get working on a video game in time for said sequel.
