Outcast feels sort of like a Chinese pseudo-historical soap opera that's been crashed by a couple of white dudes, forcing everyone to speak English with vaguely British accents. But it lacks even the self-aware zaniness of those shows
Cage, adopting an accent that could best be defined as Just British Enough to Sound Serious, adds some welcome weirdness to this otherwise generic production. He doesn't fit in at all, but then again, who'd want him to?
aiming to be an A-list blockbuster with exotic locales and dim star power, "Outcast" barely stands up straight under Powell's watch, slumping to a conclusion of shredded honor that doesn't retain its intended meaning
