Beyond Outrage (2012) is a movie I recently watched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline follows Otomo whose death ends up having been faked in the first film. The police need help cracking down on the yakuza and who better than to leverage a ghost who knows how they work. The police and Otomo will work together to try and create a war between the top Yakuza clans.
This movie is directed by and stars Takeshi Kitano (The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi) and also stars Ryô Kase (Letters from Iwo Jima), Fumiyo Kohinata (Audition), Hirofumi Arai (Confessions) and Kenta Kiritani (Jin).
The storyline for this movie holistically was very average but the execution is good. The action is a little less than the first film but some of the politics within the yakuza are further on display. The dialogue and writing remains very good and when there's action it is sudden and intense. There's some good depiction of traditions and the torture scenes are entertaining. The sound effects used are solid and the baseball scene is outstanding.
Overall this is a bit of an uneven movie with some worthwhile elements. I would score this a 6.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
