As the police launch a full-scale crackdown on organized crime, it ignites a national yakuza struggle between the Sanno of the East and Hanabishi of the West. Written by Production
I was waiting for a while to see this film and was totally shocked to find out there was a sequel to it's 2010 predecessor. The 2nd instalment is more composed and deals with the politics and characters on a much deeper level. After watching it I am curious as to if this was one screen play cut into 2 films, or, if Tekeshi and co decided to write another script after the original.
Outrage Beyond is a solid piece of crime cinema. The themes of corruption, loyalty, redemption and honour are explored on multiple levels. I loved the cinematography and was really impressed with the solid performances throughout the film. My pick of a great bunch was Tomokazu Miura's portrayal of the aged and weary "Kato".
The ending solidified this Kitano outing as a classic. Great film.
