Plot

The story begins with Sekiuchi (Kitamura Soichiro), boss of the Sannokai, a huge organized crime syndicate controlling the entire Kanto region, issuing a stern warning to his lieutenant Kato (Miura Tomokazu) and right-hand man Ikemoto (Kunimura Jun), head of the Ikemoto-gumi. Kato orders Ikemoto to bring the unassociated Murase-gumi gang in line, and he immediately passes the task on to his subordinate Otomo (Beat Takeshi), who runs his own crew.

Production

Following a string of more unconventional films with limited commercial success, Takeshi Kitano decided to make Outrage as a film with no other ambition than to be entertaining. He was reluctant to label it as a return to his roots but referred to yakuza films as "a genre for which I have talent". When writing the screenplay, Kitano started by inventing the ways in which characters would be killed in the film, and thereafter wrote a story that would go along with the violence.^[1] The film was produced by Office Kitano with Bandai Visual, TV Tokyo and Omnibus Japan.^[2] Per the producer's suggestion no actors who had appeared in earlier Kitano films were cast, with the director himself as an exception.^[3] It was shot in CinemaScope from 23 August to 23 October 2009. Filming locations included Kobe and the Ibaraki Prefecture.^[2]

Release

The film premiered in competition at the Cannes Film Festival where it was screened on 17 May 2010.^[4] The Japanese premiere followed on 12 June through a collaboration between Office Kitano and the Japanese subsidiary of Warner Bros.^[5] The film had a revenue of 1,597,856 dollars (146,363,610 yen) from 155 screens during the opening weekend, which made it the fourth highest grossing film in Japan that week.^[6] As of 4 July 2010, Box Office Mojo reported a total revenue of 7,230,528 dollars (634,117,307 yen) in the domestic market.^[7]
