Serial killer dropped into a character study...

I liked this movie because of it's excellent character development. All except the serial killer were interesting people. However, the main protagonist was the least developed character, and that weakened the whole film. The converging story lines maintained interest for... Full review

Outside Ozona is a creepy, quirky offbeat web of interesting characters woven into a tapestry of American life on the fringes, in the hinterlands. Numerous standout character performances spice up a slow building story- including Kevin Pollak as an acerbic,... Full review

This is one of the best films I've seen which I've never been able to turn other people on to. It doesn't seem to exist as a video or DVD rental. I think that's a travesty. It is definitely a... Full review

This film is far from the best I've ever seen but its definitely the best B-movie I've ever seen. The structure is Tarantino like with some of the familiar gore. However, this film does not attempt to be funny. This... Full review

There's a killer on the road.But the movie would have been much better ,if this character had been ruled out.Because the killer who kills in the name of Jesus has become a cliché.Ditto for the "radio vérité".What remains is good... Full review

This is a nice, witty, emotional, film! It is a drama/comedy/action intertwining 4 stories into one, all wrapped around a radio program. This film is a nice surprise as it has nice characters who you want to see get ahead,... Full review
You just can't judge a book by its cover, ya'know? That nice, harmless looking geek stranded on the side of the road with a broken-down car could very well be a raving, ax murderer.This is a nicely done film dealing... Full review
Rewarding Indie With an All-Star Cast

Ben Burgraff - imdb.com
'Outside Ozona', an off-beat dark comedy/thriller directed by J.S. Cardone, is a little gem, brightened by a cast of established Hollywood actors. The story involves a serial killer, pursued by agent Lucy Webb (in a role reminiscent of Frances McDormand,... Full review
Surprisingly good!

It is a truly offbeat dream-poem of a movie about the loneliness of the open prairie roads on the graveyard shift. The plot winds together several seemingly unrelated storylines united by the fact that all the characters listen to the... Full review

There's an okay thriller and intriguing religious allegory buried under the messy multiple strands of Outside Ozona .....At its best, Outside Ozona 's contribution is small, but worthy:.... ... Full Review

Chicago Sun-Times
After all the slick formula movies, it's refreshing sometimes to see a film that isn't working from the rule book.....They have a clever scene in which she interrupts his robbery attempt and makes him apologize.... ... Full Review

Hartford Courant
Having structured his entire film on coincidence, Cardone sets us up not only to accept but expect the kind of cataclysmic convergence of characters toward which "Outside Ozona" ambles awkwardly. Striving for a cross-section of Populist pie, Cardone isn't short of ideas. ... Full Review
