Plots(1)
The Sanno crime family has grown into a massive organization dominated by young executives whose new approach to running the family is causing frustration and pent-up resentment with the old-guard members. This vulnerability in the Sanno hierarchy is exactly what anti-gang detective Kataoka has been looking for, as the police force prepares a full-scale crackdown. Kataoka wants start a war between Sanno and the neighboring Hanabishi crime family in the hopes that they destroy each other. His trump card is Otomo – the rumored-dead boss of a defunct family that was destroyed by the Sanno, who has just been released from prison. Otomo wants to retire from a life of crime, but finds himself drawn back in through Kataoka's manipulations as the Sanno and Hanabishi clans teeter on the brink of an all-out war.

A solid sequel. Clan politics involving questionable pride, the intrigues of one crafty cop and brutalities of an old yakuza. You won’t find anything more here. I’m missing the overlap that I sort of got used to in Kitano movies, yet a return to the known waters of the Japanese mafia is pleasant. Acting performances are superb, the direction sharp, just the story is a little thin and powerful moments are scarce. I’m hoping that this year’s finale will put everything into the right context. ()
I got used to the fact that the sequels to successful films usually follow the same pattern, with a steady decline in quality, but the second Outrage wasn’t worse than the first one at all (some of the moments were even better). I had a good time again, and I didn't mind at all that Takeshi Kitano’s facial expression abilities were about as good as mine. ()
