Anton Bitel Little White Lies It is almost as though Kitano is saying that nothing can stop him from defeating the rivals, successors and pretenders who, in his absence, have tried to move in on his (generic) turf Mar 5, 2013 Full Review Jon Frosch The Atlantic How can anyone can get excited over something so grim and redundant? Mar 7, 2012 Full Review Tom Long Detroit News It's a gangster story, told well, with no punches pulled. Rated: B Jan 26, 2012 Full Review Jack Fleischer Battleship Pretension There is deeper Japanese cinema. There are more clever Japanese gangster movies. This is a very enjoyable crime drama that happens to be in Japanese. Mar 24, 2021 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews An enjoyable over-the-top stylishly violent and amoral yakuza film. Rated: B Jun 13, 2020 Full Review Ed Travis Hollywood Jesus Outrage's centermost meditation comes down to what honor really looks like, and what one man's word means to another.

Clara Y My first film of Takeshi Kitano, intense, fanscinating and really Japanese style. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Bob A succinct Christmas card to the deceit of the yakuza from the deft hand of Takeshi Kitano. A slap in the face of any romantic notions of loyalty or brotherhood. The only part that felt hacked was the stolen dead prostitute blackmail scheme from Godfather 2. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review samitha b Boring story coupled with actors with one facial expression get you this. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review camille l Pour son retour dans le film de yakuza après une énorme pause, Takeshi Kitano prend son temps. En effet, Outrage ne démarre vraiment qu'après une bonne grosse demi-heure. Kitano ne tente même pas d'expliquer une vraie intrigue mais juste de mettre en place les personnages du film qui finiront quasiment tous trucidés dans d'atroces souffrances, mais filmées de manière détachée, comme à son habitude. Car Outrage ressemble finalement à une apologie de la violence pour la violence, mais la violence ironique. Tout le monde meurt, tout le monde souffre, mais Kitano le regarde avec un regard dédaigneux, mutin et surtout novateur sur ce genre de film. Certaines séquences sont prodigieuses tant Kitano est au sommet de son art ici. Outrage est un film quasiment expérimental. Et satisfaisant. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Reminded me a lot about American and Italian mob movies. I guess mafia is pretty much the same all over the world. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty accurate title. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
