Outrage (Autoreiji) (2010) - Japan

This is on limited release, if you're lucky you will get a copy of this, somewhere, somehow. And if you want it bad enough and you should, mind you, you will obtain it. I love gangster movies, I love gangster movies even more when it comes from Japan, and it involves Japan's answer to Clint Eastwood / Charles Bronson - actor / director / scripter "Beat" Takeshi Kitano. The rock-faced enforcer who only cracks a smile when delivering a joke or a painful kick to the groin.

The Skinny: A Japanese mob head delegates the job of keeping a rogue band of drug dealers in line, but as expected trouble erupts ...
