My review...

My bias...

Dislikes: Long movies
Hates: Homemade dentistry


I've been looking forward to Beat Takeshi's 'Outrage' for months. I saw the trailer last fall and was instantly excited, and was even more excited this week when I saw that it popped up on Netflix available for streaming. Needless to say, I watched it the first chance I got.

The long and short of this flick - Beat plays a guy who runs a crew that takes care of the Yakuza's dirty work. Obviously, there's some things that can go awry with a profession like this and things get hairy. What evolves is a double crossing, lying, cheating, murderous tale that involves too many players to keep track of. Fingers get lopped off, bullets fly, and blood spills.

You'll have to pay attention to get the most out of this movie, but stick with it. It's a brisk movie, at 109 minutes - just to my tastes - but there's a lot going on. The violence is brutal - there were two parts that made me want to look away.

This isn't Beat's best, but it's absolutely worth a watch.

Score: B
