Takes the standard gangster movie template and blasts it out of the water. - 75
The A.V. Club
Of all the great actor/directors, Kitano has probably come the closest to creating a style that parallels his approach to acting. - 63
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Beyond Outrage reaches above and beyond most Hollywood underworld movies to deliver a tale of righteous revenge doled out only after showing us how much it is deserved. - 63
RogerEbert.com
Unfortunately, early hints that the the actor-filmmaker's latest will be a brilliant, bloody, sustained workplace satire don't pan out. This is an intelligently composed, crisply edited, sometimes amusing, but otherwise unremarkable cross/double cross gangster picture. - 50
Slant Magazine
If Takeshi Kitano does go forward with the rumored third volume, hopefully he'll conceive of some fresh angle on this increasingly dry material. - 50
The New York Times
The strategy and strategizing of Beyond Outrage still feel like overkill (if you’ll pardon the expression). - 50
New York Post
Beyond Outrage fails to live up to its title as Japanese superstar Takeshi Kitano can’t find much in the way of fresh ideas for the genre. - 40
Time Out
The film lacks any kind of human interest, relying instead on our inferred love of lengthy strategy sessions and displays of ruffled pride. When it comes to yakuza cinema, you can do better.
