​

"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.​

Jonah Hill essentially decided to make a movie about himself lol. The character is trying to make amends to the people he's wronged but it feels like more the movie is about the people who have wronged him.

Visually, this shit is ugly to look at. The beach house scenes look so fake that its distracting and Jonah Hill's character is so cartoonish along with his fake teeth. A lot of the comedy did not land at all. I think the only thing I found amusing is the photos of canceled celebrities like Kanye, Spacey and Roseanne littered around the law office of Hill's character

I did like the scene with Scorsese playing the former child agent of Keanu's character. I wish they gave Cameron Diaz more to work with cause I also liked the scene where she gave Reef some hard truth

⭐⭐
 
PRAISE: This dramedy about a two-time Oscar-winning action star named Reef Hawk (Keanu Reeves) who is paranoid and then some about protecting his image and people forgetting his accomplishments gets thrown a curve ball when someone threatens to release a private video that he thinks could end his career. When Director and writer Jonah Hill along with co Writer Ezra Woods include jokes about reality TV, the Hollywood machine and personas the movie worked for me. The dramatic moments were the best moments in the film, especially when Hawk is confronted about his vices and only seeing himself.
Reeves does well in the aforementioned scenes as his character goes on an apology tour. The really standout scene that the film definitely needed more of includes a great dramatic performance from Martin Scorsese as Reef’s first manager.

PROBLEMS: Far to many obnoxious characters coupled with painfully unfunny moments that I wish could have ended quickly. Some scenes felt as fake as the green screen used in the movie. I felt the look isn't this clever scenes were extremely repetitive. Sure I get that Hill wanted to make fun of cancel culture but a more subtle approach would have worked better for me.

Scale of 1 to 10 a 6
