	Author	Review
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"That Netflix movie where Jared Leto joins the Yakuza is even worse than it sounds (...) Most frustrating of all is how 'The Outsider' refuses to shift its focus away from its title character"	NEG
United Kingdom	Charles Bramesco The Guardian	"An unconvincing crime tale (...) Neither Zandvliet, Baldwin, nor Leto care to look beyond themselves (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	William Bibbiani IGN	"It takes extremely familiar plot points and plays them straight, adding nothing new except the premise (...) Incredibly unremarkable"	NEG
United States	Mike D'Angelo AV Club	"[It] is the generic Jared Leto yakuza thriller no one wanted (...) Everything on the checklist feels utterly rote"	NEG
United States	Derek Smith Slant	"Zandvliet's decision to place a white man at the center of his narrative only to attempt to examine larger issues that don't involve him leave 'The Outsider' too often feeling rudderless (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
