Keanu Reeves' latest movie hasn't quite received the desired outcome on Rotten Tomatoes.
Outcome, a new dark comedy directed by Jonah Hill, is currently sitting at a disappointing score of 27% on the review aggregator site, based on 26 reviews.
Per the official synopsis, the Apple TV movie follows Reeves' Reef Hawk, "a beloved Hollywood star who must dive into the depths of his hidden demons after being extorted with a mysterious video that's sure to shatter his image and end his career." The cast also includes Cameron Diaz and Matt Bomer as Reef's best friends and Hill as his crisis lawyer.

"Whatever the right time would be for an exhausting comedy, laden with therapy-speak, about the hardships of film stardom, the current point of global distress is probably not it," reads the Financial Times' review.
Meanwhile, AV Club writes that "while there are affecting moments in Outcome about the perils of celebrity, far too often Hill comes close to true self-reflection, then quickly scurries away."
It's not all negativity, though. "There’s no denying Hill’s instinct for identifying the heart of a dramatic scene and turning the volume of the storytelling down low enough for us to hear it beating," says RogerEbert.com's review.

This is Hill's first time directing a fictional feature since 2018's Mid90s, a coming-of-age comedy about a teenager who begins spending time with an older group of skaters in '90s LA. Since then, he's also directed a documentary, Stutz, about his therapist.
