This is a story largely made up of scenes of men talking in offices, but without the delicious and satirical sense of a whole-cloth gangster world set apart by its own rhythms and internalized rituals of violence ...

Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Kitano's considerable gifts as a screenwriter and stylist-namely, his talent for staging violent outbursts and conveying narrative through elliptical cuts-are enough to sustain the film as a twisty, cynical underworld yarn.
"Beyond Outrage" fails to live up to its title as Japanese superstar Takeshi Kitano can't find much in the way of fresh ideas for the genre.
The strategy and strategizing of "Beyond Outrage" ... feel like overkill (if you'll pardon the expression).
The narrative haze clears eventually, and the action-dialogue ratio balances out with a succession of swift, punchy setpieces.
