Outrage reviewed!

Excerpt:
This is a movie full of sadistic villains, all out for greater power and stature. Even in similarly violent films like Scarface, audiences find compassion for the hero, because he has proven himself in some other way. Outrage, through its across–the-board sadism, systematically removes compassion and empathy for any character of consequence, thus completely negating the drama. By the end, it is difficult to feel triumph or defeat, because the numbing effects of bad men still lingers on all sides.

I'd probably agree with the review extract. Takeshi Kitano claims he wanted to make a commercial film. Interesting that he did that IMO, with virtually no heroes or villains. I believe the film was relatively successful in Japan. It has an intriguing story and you do want to see it played out, but I can't see this movie, living in my memory.🐭
