Kitano is cool as always as a gangster who kills other gangsters. The music is better than the usually weird and out-of-place stuff that Kitano often uses in his films, and the action is tight and well directed. It's nicely filmed, and I bet it had good dialogue too.

Had to see it without subtitles so I didn't understand a single word.

Dentist scene alone is worth the watch.

Stylish, slick and beautiful looking. Outrage is Takeshi Kitano's gangster film that although doesn't feel wholly original is still a competent film. Kitano directs, writes and stars in this and his character is the coolest, baddest motherfucker.

The film starts well and stutters along for a little while but does eventually pick up pace and tells an all too familiar story that if you're familiar with the gangster sub-genre will notice. However, despite the unoriginal story there are fresh ideas and some sublime shots as well as featuring a solid cast.

It's not a particularly great film, but I enjoyed it immensely if only for Takeshi Kitano's slick craft and his character. The violence is also supremely gruesome - especially a certain dentistry scene.

Currently on stream on Netflix, Outrage is just another of the many films by Kitano that leaves his unmistakable style, much like John Woo had done in the action genre yet with a much more subtle but dramatically violent signature in his titles. The storyline follows a smaller Yakuza family that is caught between the orders of its leaders as they soon find themselves being used as pawns, which ultimately results in a climactic end and with a twist that some may see coming but still nicely placed. Kitano is excellent as always, stalwart in his expression but very intense in his deliveries. The plot itself isn't too complicated but being in subtitles some of the names of the characters can lead to a bit of confusion, yet still worth recommending; whether your first experience of Kitanos work or as a longtime fan.

after movie overdosing i could not care less for this film, it did not attract me, captivate me or impress me in any way but maybe i was too tired to even care.

High stakes and high violence in the underbelly of Japan. There are few, if any, who can make a yakuza flick like Beat Takeshi. This is one of his best.

Self hatred is probably the strongest form of hate, and you can see a real life example of it, gay politicians working to set the gay agenda back by means of political power, if I'm beating on a gay man I can't be gay myself, what a comforting and erroneous thought. Progress on the subject is very little, seems like the number of out of the closet politicians remains very small and with no clear intent on changing. It's interesting to see the obsession over Spitzer's affair and hen put it in contrast with how little coverage some of these alleged homosexual politicians receive.

I think this movie is about shouting...

Yes if your into film`s where people raise there voice look no further..

Not one of Takeshi Kitano better ones

My private Takeshi Kitano Film Festival (:P) comes to an end with this gritty portrayal of violence and betrayal. I think the Yakuza genre belongs exclusively to this guy. Total roller coaster of an experience, with twists galore!

Don't go near this with a ten foot pole if you like a good plot or character development because all of that time is taken to show you various ingenious ways the Yakuza offs their targets.

Go for this if you got a demented streak in you that needs to be satisfied by watching 101 violent ways to die. Not one character is sympathetic in this one!

Autoreiji (2010)

8/10

Hours before seeing its sequel at BAFICI, I finally catch up with the gangster comeback from the cult japanese director Takeshi Kitano. This one is difficult to talk about since it's a mixed movie, it has some great moments of carnage and death, those moments are the best handed, but everything else that joins them is a bit thin and maybe at times over-plotted or over-complicated. Nevertheless, the message that the director is trying to get across comes out clean and clear at the same time. The acting here is over the top but oh-so-delicious, I can't help but applaud every yell, moment and look given in this film, it's a delicious film and one of the few unguilty pleasures that I've had in a gangster film, a genre I'm not tood fond of.
