Takeshi Kitano directs, writes, edits and stars in this film, which is quite impressive. I must say, he does a good job at all of these things. He creates a film that really feels like a look into the violent and backstabbing world of the Yakuza. It doesn't pull any punches, that's for sure. It also contains a scene that will make you fear the dentists office more than you may already fear it. Apparently Kitano wrote the death scenes first, and then wrote the story around it, which you may think would make for a terrible movie, but you would be wrong. The story is intriguing and full of betrayal. The movie also has a great soundtrack that has a very cool synth sound.
The performances are all quite believable. In the way that you feel like the actors in Goodfellas are real members of the mafia, Outrage contains actors whose performances would almost have you believe they we're real Yakuza. You have some real despicable characters, and the actors fill those rolls so well.
Overall, this is a film that is quite underrated when it comes to the gangster film genre. I would love to see more Yakuza films that have a similar style to this. Highly recommended to gangster movie fans.
