How can anyone can get excited over something so grim and redundant?
Top CriticIt's a gangster story, told well, with no punches pulled.
Kitano is clearly enjoying his powers as a master of the form, and the movie invites the viewer to share in his enjoyment.
It's like a version of "Cinema Paradiso" where all the murders were saved up by a censor and strung together for a bloodbath.
True Kitano fans will find its title sadly ironic.
It's retaliation without foundation, all fun and games until everyone gets hurt.
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
Happily, Outrage is super-cool; it's inventive, funny, and shocking enough that it really doesn't matter much where Kitano has been. He's back now.
Functions more as a reminder of past glories than as a harbinger of new concepts.
A swift kick in the soft parts sure to release some holiday tension.
The film's engine chugs away, keeping up the solidly enjoyable frenzy of cruelty, with gangster turnover taking place so fast, so furiously that at times it's tough keep the alliances and betrayals straight.
Be warned that this is a violent movie, even for a gangster film, and Kitano relishes in depicting his characters' ruthlessness.
.. 'Macbeth' by way of 'Goodfellas,' a labyrinthine game of cat-and-mouse bathed in buckets of the red stuff ... a funny, subversive assault on the crime genre. Kitano's best since 'Sonatine.'
Kitano's gangsters display enough ambition to make Macbeth blush.
A masterpiece of denied expectations - every act of vengeance happens too late to satisfy but just in time to spark more.
If a bracing brew of criminal connivance and exquisite bloodletting is to your liking, Takeshi certainly provides it.
