Box Office Richard Mowe Outside the Law is epic in scale and comparable in tone and scope to other crime sagas like The Untouchables or Once Upon a Time in America, as such it could well break out of its arthouse confines. It has the added honor of being Algeria's Oscar contender in the best foreign language category. | 15 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert The film is very well made. The actors create individual characters, within the limitations of what is essentially a formula. | 15 | |
