Timothy Daly shines in this romantic western movie
5 Stars
Timothy Daly shines in this romantic western movie
Timothy Daly (of Wings fame) and Naomi Watts star in what appears at first glance to be a remake of Angel and the Badman (John Wayne and Gail Russell.) I have to say I love both movies for the same reasons. Faith and love can get you through any hardship you might face.Johnny Gault is a world weary gunslinger who believes in his gun and nothing else. Rebecca Yodder belongs to a religious sect (The Plain People) who have strict rules for women and shun anything that may lead them to shame - including any kind of music.Rebecca's husband is murdered and her son and brother harassed by the local sheriff and his men for her land. Johnny arrives out of nowhere and drops near death at her feet. She tends to him and he stays to help with the sheep and the farm.The difference between Angel and the Badman and The Outsider, is that you actually see Rebecca's family and the community shun her as she begins to question her love for Johnny and the freedom it brings. At the same time, Johnny must deal with his past and with the present issue of the sheriff and his men threatening his newly adopted family.What I really loved about this movie is the rhythm the director gave it with the hours and chores of the day, the beautiful score, and the stunning cinematography. Randa Haines (Children of a Lesser God, Hill Street Blues, The Ron Clark Story) assembled a cast that provides the emotional tension and drama that makes this movie worth watching. The chemistry between Daly and Watts is on target, and Daly will definitely make your heart beat a little faster. Keith Carradine plays a suitor and David Carradine plays the town doctor. John Noble (Lord of the Rings) plays the sheriff.If you enjoy collecting westerns, especially romantic ones - this one is a keeper.A bit of trivia: The haunting music you hear in the background of the movie is mostly Norwegian folk songs. Two of the songs sung - Bla Tonar Fra Lom and Jenta I Sauflokken can be found on the Nordisk Sang CD featuring various artists. There were no known Norwegian settlements in the US that were Amish, Mennonites or Quakers. Norwegian settlers were most likely Lutheran. The beautiful music still fits the movie and the mood. The movie, as most of you know is based on the historical romance The Outsider by author Penelope Williamson.

5.0 out of 5 stars A romantic movie!
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2015

My brother and I keep a running tally of romantic movies we both love: "50 First Dates," "Overboard," "Born Yesterday" (Melanie Griffith), "Knight and Day." Now I am adding "The Outsider." The embrace after her begging for forgiveness before the church crowd is so powerful! So much so, that I just ordered the movie. Like others who reviewed this movie, I want to be able to see it over and over. Then I might hand it over to my brother.

So, what makes a western about a gunslinger so romantic? So many things come together to make a memorable romance. The choice of actors is the main one for me. Tim Daley! He's been a favorite of mine ever since "Wings," though his performance in "Madame Secretary" is a also compelling.
Here, he is perfect. His facial expressions, his strong physique, his dark hair and eyes (playing on 'tall, dark, and handsome'). He is introduced into the story almost like a myth: lone stranger appearing out of nowhere.

The only weak link is Naomi Watts as Plain woman living the Plain life. Her occasional scrunchy facial expressions are, frankly, weird. But, overall, she does execute her role well. Her part in that powerful embrace matches Mr. Daly's perfectly! Awesome! Also, her prayer that turns into a declaration of love is also emotionally rich and complete!

Basically, this is the story of the Big Bad Wolf coming into the lives of an isolated woman and son on the plains, trying to sheepherd. The wealthy big shot cattleman kills her husband and threatens her until the Wolf, no longer bad, but protective, helps her.

"The Outsider" is a revelation. One of Ms Watts's compelling speeches is her statement that all people can be redeemed and that this wounded stranger has a right to seek this forgiveness and resulting redemption. The moral element threads throughout the story, gracefully, not obnoxiously.

I look forward to receiving my DVD so that my brother and I can once again share a favorite romantic movie, this time adding to our repertoire.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great adaptation of Williamson's novel
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2010

UPDATE September 6, 2016: I just read an entry on THE OUTSIDER forum in which one of the posters says the movie has now come out with closed captioning. Good to know. I might have to buy a new copy of the movie to get the benefit of this.

  The Outsider  by Penelope Williamson is a favorite historical novel of mine. I was excited but also a little worried when I saw a movie had been made based on the novel. Movie adaptations don't always do justice to the original materials.

I thought the outlaw Johnny Gault (Johnny Cain in the book) was played very well by Tim Daly - a lot of depth to a complicated character played with finesse and charisma. I didn't like Naomi Watts as well playing Rebecca Yoder (Rachel in the book). I know she played a Plain woman in the movie but that doesn't have to mean colorless. Daly definitely dominated this movie.

As with any adaptation, sections are going to be excluded for expediency's sake but I wish there were a few areas explored a bit more: the romantic interest of the neighbor, the origin of Gault's wound, the interplay between Rebbecca and her family, especially her mother.

But overall the movie was done very well. The cinematography was gorgeous as well as the Australian locations. I enjoyed seeing John Noble in the movie - quite a change from his roles as Denethor in the LOTR trilogy and Walter Bishop in the television show "Fringe". The movie score was haunting and beautiful.

One major drawback for me was that this movie does not have closed captioning. I am partially deaf and subtitles definitely add to my enjoyment of all movies.

I bought this movie for my collection and will be keeping it. I have recommended it to friends and family and I am quite sure I will be watching it many more times over the years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good...
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2012

I saw this movie one night while channel surfing. I admit at the time that I only paused on it because of Tim Daly. I was thinking Tim Daly in a western? Hmmm...I was very surprised by the restrained but convincing acting of both Time Daly and Naomi Watts. Yes, the story is all western, i.e., good versus evil, but it is so much more than that. What is most surprising is that I've never thought that the male character seduces the vulnerable woman. In this instance, I think the woman is the stronger character and it is the man who is seduced by her faith in God and in him. I hadn't seen this movie in a number of years and because I no longer have cable and this movie doesn't seem to be on netflix or amazon instant video, I had to purchase a DVD. However, this time before I watched the film I wanted to read the book on which the movie is based. There are definitely elements in the book that were not part of the movie but the movie is only based on the book. The essential elements of the relationship between Johnny and Rebecca are there. I love the book and learned so much more about the characters and their environment and have fallen in love with this movie all over again.

I do admit that the character names in the book (Johnny Cain and Rachel Yoder) are much better and probably more appropriate than those in the movie. But both the book and the movie are wonderful in their own way.

Too little of Brett Tucker in the beginning of the movie though. Would love to see him in more movies stateside.
