High potential lacks conviction

A very well-executed movie in terms of directing and acting, and it's a decent watch for anyone who enjoys a good mafia movie, or a yakuza movie as the case may be. However, there is nothing new on display. It blends in with the masses and masses of movies in its genre.Throughout the entire movie, I kept feeling a sense of lack. This lack was a lack of sympathy you feel for these characters, and the lack of understanding for the system on display. You don't understand what's going on until about an hour into the movie, and by then it's a little too late to care. There's a little too much shooting first, and too few questions asked. I believe Kitano really tried to write a movie that could stand among classics like Scarface and the Godfather in terms of epics, but fell short.However, I would say the movie is worth a watch, if only to see what the movie could've been.

Intense atmosphere lacks an appropriate balance between justice and hostile

What are some words out there to describe the evil Japanese clan "Yakuza?" It comes down to brutality, unforgiving, relentless, and an absolute pledge. Fortunately, The Outrage, directed by Takeshi Kitano who is famous for Battle Royal, manages to tell the cruel side of Yakuza world where a verbal conflict leads to spattering blood until the strongest wins.

To summarize the plot, the two different crime organizations owned by an affluent Sanmo-kai chairman get into a vicious quarrel as each subordinate gets killed one by one from back-to-back retaliation. As they are inclined to execute everything they are told by their higher-ups under any occasion, the story gets deeper and intense.

We also get to see all types of violence for the punishment and vengeance. One of the traditional ways of making it up for one's miscue is to slice one of their fingers. There is zero mercy and sympathy.

To talk about some downsides, As the justice being the symbol of the police, a lieutenant forms an alliance with the Yakuza chairman by getting a bribe. There is no need to reprimand the director portraying an unlawful decorum of police here. But, the real disappointment lies on the incompetent power of a legislative body that faces against Yakuza being one-sided as they easily makes a mockery of the police.

For example, there is a scene where a luxury car with a corpse in the trunk tries to pass through an inspection gate which is heavily guarded by more than three officers. And, one of the subordinates, Ishihara who is fluent in English pretends be a foreigner who does not understand a word of Japanese so the officer just meekly lets them pass despite discovering blood dripping from the trunk. That is not all. The officer getting rejected for frisking the trunk because they state that it belongs to an embassy! It neglects the duty and proprietary of the police whose jobs are to identify any suspects.

Not only that, while a number of Yakuza members getting killed in public, the police does not even try to arrest a single member because of inadequate evidence! All I see is the same lieutenant taking a bribe and yelling at the alleged Yakuza "You did it right?" "Don't lie to me!" whilst the rest of his comrades being dormant. Can't the director bother to make an even one scene where forensics examining fingerprints?

Even it is an intention of director to show corrupted side of Japanese police, I still think they should implement detailed investigation scenes where police and Yakuza congregate.

Other than that, the story itself delivers well. The lesson in this movie would be human beings have the effrontery to betray anyone in order to fulfill their own goal, at least in Yakuza world. Sadly, the world we are living in may not be as hopeful as we think yet.
