Did the ending remind anyone a little of.....(spoilers)
...Carlito's Way.
The protagonist looks to escape with his life only to be killed by a minor thug who he should have killed earlier in film (and who he had forgot about it).
Its a little different in Outrage in that Ôtomo didn't escape the life but ended up in prison but it did look like he was going to outlast them all - which was a sort of winning/evenge (in the eyes of the crooked cop at least).
