Outrage Beyond (Japan, 2012)

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. What started as an internal strife in Outrage has now become a nationwide war in Outrage Beyond.

The first Outrage was a brilliant Yakuza epic, it had the right attitude and the right amount of brutal violence (that dentist scene, wow). Outrage Beyond somehow manages to completely blow the first one out of the water. It's a film by Takeshi Kitano and is about what he does the best, the Yakuza.  It's a hard-boiled, well-told story about a huge power struggle between two Yakuza clans and everything that follows. Not to be missed by fans of Yakuza flicks, Kitano, or just a good crime fest. 


Genre: Action/Crime
