What critics are saying so far
The film arrived on the platform right after the first reviews dropped online, and the initial reactions are pretty mixed. Right now, the movie holds a low score of 22 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Many reviewers felt the comedy missed the mark and directed most of their negative feedback at Jonah Hill for his writing and directing choices.
However, critics had much better things to say about Keanu Reeves. They pointed out that he really committed to the role and did a great job handling the material he was given.
In case you don’t have a subscription to Apple TV, it costs $12.99 per month. You can stream Outcome there right now to decide for yourself if it is worth watching.
