william r If you're in the mood for some Yakuza action, you could certainly do worse. However, things do become quite scattered and it leads to a less than satisfying experience. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review camille l Alors qu'on s'attendait beaucoup plus à un film de yakuza plutôt classique, Takeshi Kitano livre avec Beyond Outrage une de ses oeuvres les plus conceptuelles et les plus abstraites. En faisant mine de raconter une histoire de yakuza plus ou moins inintéressante (et qui, in fine, n'existe pas du tout ou si peu) pendant 1h10, Kitano prépare le spectateur à accepter le déferlement de violence froide, inventive, presque irréelle sur le troisième acte. Il se fait plaisir à inventer de nouvelles manières de trucider un casting parfois présent juste pour réagir à ce qu'il se passe à l'écran. Et au milieu de tout ça, Kitano est là, magistral comme à son habitude : il grogne, toise, insulte, méprise, flingue et soupire devant ce qu'il se passe devant son personnage, qui n'a rien d'autre à faire que de subir les évènements. Avant un final exaltant. Beyond Outrage est une vraie amélioration par rapport à son aîné. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review dustin d Once again, Takeshi Kitano has made another atmospheric and character-driven crime film. Like many films in the Japanese crime genre, it is a little bit convoluted and difficult to follow, but that is sort of the point. I imagine in the real world yakuza politics are staggeringly complex, individuals are feeling their way through the dark, and what you don't know can get you killed. The better yakuza films accurately portray that. Where this movie suffers, like some lesser yakuza films, is in the tone. You don't know what Kitano is trying to get across. With the rock soundtrack blaring while the gangsters go on a killing spree, it can seem like yakuza violence is exciting and glorified, which is not what the message the film should be going for, and I don't think it is what Kitano meant. Yakuza films shouldn't be cheerleading crime, but instead depict a deglorified picture of the violence and the lowlifes who prey on society to satisfy their greed. Kitano could have accomplished that simply by toning down the soundtrack, and by presenting a more balanced portrayal of the police so Otomo's "code" doesn't seem valiant by comparison. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Beat Takeshi is at it again. It follows the same theme of lies and treason. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Somehow the whole Yakuza thing looks very simple. The pride and protection of the family is lost because of one lousy cop? I don't think so... Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought it was a great movie. Takeshi screen presence is larger than life. This is a sequel that will not disappoint you. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
