Synopsis
When Japanese police dredge up a car containing the bodies of an assassinated cop and a nightclub hostess at the start of Outrage Beyond, the evidence suggests that the powerful Sanno yakuza clan –last seen trying to rid itself of the competition in Kitano’s 2010 Outrage– has gotten a little too big for its britches, or at least for the comfort level of corrupt anti-yakuza cop Kataoka. The callow young Sanno boss Kato has no respect for the old ways of power-sharing and police glad-handing, and a power shift seems in order. So Kataoka calls the renegade yakuza Otomo (Kitano), believed dead but in fact just cooling his heels in prison, and before long a new inter-clan battle royale is brewing. In this superior sequel, the deadpan Kitano plays things relatively straight, laying out the action in sleek, elegant, widescreen master shots punctuated by sudden, merciless bursts of violence. The result is a first-rate yakuza picture by a master of the genre. NYFF
