Sanno-kai has vanquished Murase-gumi. Kato is secretly in league with Hanabishi-kai. Ishihara causes resentment among the dankai no seidai. Kataoka has a plan. Otomo wants revenge. Kimura forges an unexpected alliance. Fuse is playing the long game. The Korean fixer takes a risk. Nishino remains loyal. Nakata is unstable. Shiroyama and Gomi are still the same. A yakuza honours the jingi code.Is Shigeta a liability? Who killed Shima and Ono? What is the meaning of the tattoo on the back of the prostitute in the white dressing gown? Is it possible to murder someone with a baseball-throwing machine?I rate Autoreiji: Biyondo at 26.64 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a violent 8/10 on IMDB.

i'll try to be as short as possible. essentially, this is a good yakuza film, that picks up different angles from where the prequel left off. eg., in the first 'outrage', the focus is on the yakuza discipline, or a romanticized yakuza clan struggling with modern times. on this film though, the focus is on the "macro-level", the interactions with police, politics, other clans and business.unfortunately, although this seems very promising, it's not as brainy as other flicks, like 'the godfather' perhaps, and doesn't have the psychological depth or intricate plot of, say, the 1st 'infernal affairs'; it's a rather superficial action/yakuza film, but a very enjoyable one.if you're a kitano fan: it's not avant-garde like 'sonatine', or kind of experimental like 'hanabi' or 'violent cop', or even a different take on the hollywoodian style like 'brother' - it's more a regular kind of movie. but if you liked the 1st 'outrage', like i did, you'll definitely like this one.

I was waiting for a while to see this film and was totally shocked to find out there was a sequel to it's 2010 predecessor. The 2nd instalment is more composed and deals with the politics and characters on a much deeper level. After watching it I am curious as to if this was one screen play cut into 2 films, or, if Tekeshi and co decided to write another script after the original. Outrage Beyond is a solid piece of crime cinema. The themes of corruption, loyalty, redemption and honour are explored on multiple levels. I loved the cinematography and was really impressed with the solid performances throughout the film. My pick of a great bunch was Tomokazu Miura's portrayal of the aged and weary "Kato".The ending solidified this Kitano outing as a classic. Great film.

I watched outrage a year ago, I found it just a plain yakuza movie and don't ever have any attention to watch its sequel and never know that they will make one. When it's release, I think why not I try this one. After at least 2 hours of the movie, I found it's still a plain yakuza movie, with more twist, more blood, more foulmouthed and more suspended. I like this one because I think its better than its predecessor, story looks quite style and can make audiences thinking. Its considered as a good movie if it can make their audiences rewind back to understand more of the story, I rewind many time actually, to understand what's going on. What I don't like is, its look like not logic, many murder happen, and all looks like a heavy massacre but the cop don't do anything. Why? That thing keep me thinking, murder happen everywhere and where is the cop? Actually it have the answer at the ending, if you want to know? Watch this!
