Outrage is at times a humorous and mostly violent insight into the Yakuza. The head of the Yakuza crime syndicate, Sekiuchi wants to get rid of someone and so, he pits friends against each other, oaths are broken to uphold the will of their boss and death intertwined with comedy ensues as each character looks out for themselves in a world were the only one they can trust is themselves.

This in my opinion is Kitano's masterpiece, every character is beautifully crafted and portrayed by fantastic actors. This world is murky and dangerous as friends can easily kill each other when given an order, violence can occur in an instant without any warning or even reason. But what I found amazing about this was the comedy that seemed to be just perfect in this serious world. The escalating war between the bigger and smaller clan was quite thrilling when the audience realises that no character is safe.

I do not prefer sequels...but I just feel one film is not enough! A sequel please mister Kitano.
