Outrage

[Drunk Monk]

On a lark, I went back for this, which is considered Beat's Yakuza masterpiece. It's good, surprisingly moody and contemplative, punctuated by bursts of gunfire and gangsters getting shot in the forehead. I forgot that Beat had a roguish handsomeness in his youth and this cast is surprisingly good looking while mawkishly dressed. It's rather existential too - Beat's character is distantly amused by the violence exploding around him, deadpanning a fine torture scene and the assassinations of his comrades. Everyone keeps their fingers. No swordfights but some good gun battles.
