"Outcome" is a dark comedy that centers on Reef Hawk (Keanu Reeves), a beloved Hollywood star who must dive into the depths of his hidden demons after he is extorted with a mysterious video that's sure to shatter his image and end his career. With the support of his lifelong besties Kyle (Cameron Diaz) and Xander (Matt Bomer), along with his crisis lawyer Ira (Jonah Hill), Reef embarks on a soul-searching journey to make amends with anyone he could have possibly wronged in hopes of identifying the blackmailer. Co-writer and director Hill brings a unique lens to Reef's wild but spiritually cleansing, nostalgic and eye-opening trip down memory lane, where confronting his past might be the only way to rescue his future.

Critics Consensus

Outcome collapses under its own ambitions, playing as a garish, tonally erratic and heavy-handed satire that fumbles its intriguing ideas about stardom in an overlong and largely unfunny jumble of wasted talent.

With Hill as Reef’s abrasive lawyer, the film veers between crude and cuddly. Watch it for Reeves’ heartfelt reaction shots and Martin Scorsese’s small but perfectly played role.

Ultimately Outcome needed a more refined, truthful director.

It’s hard to imagine this mumbling, shambling man holding multiplex masses in his thrall. As such, he’s a poignant void, but a void nonetheless, and even at a slim 84 minutes, Hill’s doleful film can’t keep us interested in his plight.

One wonders if Hill the director shouldn’t have reined in Hill the character actor a touch more, in order to give Outcome a more consistent tone.

It's just full of talent, but was the most unentertaining thing I've seen in a while.

A muddled, self-indulgent satire that never finds its bite, Outcome wastes its cast and ideas in a dull, aimless story that feels far longer than it is.

Turned it off after 30 minutes. Great cast, but PAINFULLY unfunny.

Would’ve loved to see where Keanu’s character took this film but just couldn’t handle the over the top character or Hill. Made it as far as the introduction of the crisis team in the boardroom and had to turn it off. Nope.

What started out as a promising movie....ended the moment Jonah Hill's character appears. Its a Woody Allen light......very lightweight, movie wasting the talents of Keneau Reeves who should stick to action films killing bad guys not movies. Turned it off after 20 minutes.

If the F word was out of the script this would be Oscar material. Jonah Hill ruined this. I think this is based on true stories and experiences. Uncle shared some introspect and folks this is real experiences. I like it but detest the F work every scene.

Difficult to watch....not sure what Jonah Hill is doing in this...maybe its the writing, or was it all ad libbed? Unwatchable...I tried, ended up fast forwarding through most of it....

I loved this movie. It was a bit meta, showing a flawed man in a flawed society. Great cameos. It's not getting a lot of love, and I can't see why that is.
