Trivia:

Nick Love based the screenplay on newspaper stories and anecdotes he's been told by people all over the UK. The narrative is fictional, but many of the incidents portrayed are based on fact.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: (At 14:00) When Simon Hillier is spying on Danny Bryant via CCTV, he controls the CCTV cameras using a remote joystick. The joystick makes whirring motor noises, which joysticks do not make. The motors that move the cameras (on some models) make such noises but this would not be heard at the controller end.

Quotes:

Bryant: Why's he on bail?
Walter Lewis: Shoplifting crayons apparently.

The Dirty 1/2 Dozen

***SPOILERS*** Coming back home to London after serving his tour in Afghanistan Royal British Paratrooper Dan Bryant, Sean Bean,is shocked to find the girl he left behind his wife, Kate Lewington, making out with another man in the comfort of his own home! If Dan didn't lose it already in the horrors he faced and participated in Afghanistan he lost it now here in jolly old England!

It's then that Dan starts to get a little crazy in not knowing exactly what to do to suppress his uncontrollable anger. Dan soon decides to clean up the town of crime to make him forget the crime committed on him; By his old lady in dumping Dan at a time, with him suffering from post traumatic stress, that he needed her most.

Dan recruits a number of people who've gotten a raw deal from both the criminals, who victimized them, and courts, who let their victimizers off Scot-free. It's with these people that Dan creates an outfit that goes after both the criminal element of London and the corrupt politicians police and judges who let them off.

The anti-crime outfit coined by the London Media as the Outlaws that Dan's in charge of wakes havoc on the crime syndicate running London and it's untouchable, from the law, Godfather Manning, Rob Fry. One of the members of Dan's team is barrister Cedric Munroe, Lennie James, who was prosecuting Manning and had his wife and unborn child murdered by Mannings hoods. Dan also had Munroe's personal chafferer retired London policeman Walter Lewis, Bo Hoskins, join his team of crime fighters. It's Lewis who provided Dan with important information to who's in the pay, and is paying off, those in the justice system to keep Manning from ending up behind bars.

Dan at first gets the job done in cleaning up the streets of London of the criminal scum who's been given a free ride by politicians like, he's in fact mentioned a number of times in the film, the then British Prime Minister Tony Blair! What Blair had exactly to do with the likes of hoodlums like Manning is never quite explained in the movie?

It's later that Dan's dirty half dozen, the number of persons including himself in his hit squad, start to really screw things up! with Dan himself doing more then his share of screwing!

***SPOILER ALERT*** The movie "Outlaw" moves to its inevitable conclusion with what's left of Dan's crime fighters somehow, it's really left up in the air by the films writers and director, being double crossed by one of their own. There's a wild shootout outside of London around Manning's secret hideout with almost everyone of the Outlaws getting plugged by the cops. Yes it was non other then the London Police themselves who came to Mannings rescue!

These so-called law enforcement agents, the police, were so trigger happy and unprofessional that they even shot down one of the Outlaws when he dropped his weapons and willingly surrendered! A gross and major violation of the Geneava Accords of 1929! Something that the Nazis were convicted of doing at the Nuremburg Trials back in 1946!

But all was not lost with the Outlaws, or one or two of them, coming back to exact justice. The justice that was denied to one of those major criminals whom the corrupt British Justice System wantonly allowed to escape.
