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.

The dialogues written for the main character Ottomo(Takeshi Kitano) was better than most movies similar in genre to ''Beyond Outrage'' (2012). It was fluently portrayed by Takeshi Kitano, who is usually known as a comedian and his co-stars. The action in the movie was also more than decent, the highlight being when Otomo empties a gun on Kataoka at point- blank range, killing him and not attending his funeral.

The film is set five years after the action in Outrage ended. The utterly corrupt Detective Kataoka is still in place, perhaps more entrenched than ever. Detective Shigeta, a somewhat more straight arrow policeman, accompanies Kataoka on some of his tasks. Kato is still the Chairman of the Sanno family. Ishihara, formerly in Otomo's clan, is now Kato's underboss. Sanno has grown considerably in wealth and power, partly because they absorbed Murase's drug business from the first film. Other shifts in the Sanno family are placement of older executives by younger ones, and valuing acquiring money over muscling other families. As the story begins, there is plenty of fuel in the powder keg: the old guard resent the younger upstarts; when one family expands, others just might feel threatened; the cops have decided to squeeze Sanno growth.In the film's opening sequence, the police lift a car out of the water. Kataoka and Shigeta arrive, so one knows there is a yakuza connection. One of the bodies is that of a high government official, and evidence points to the Sanno family issuing the hit order. The police see that Sanno thinks its money is sufficient to buy enough protection for them to openly order the killing of a government official. This seems to be too much to bear.Kataoka sets about riling up the yakuza against each other. He encourages one of the old guard in the Sanno family (and two of his followers) to attempt to unseat and replace Underboss Ishihara. He arranges a meeting with Fuse, the Chairman of the Hanabishi family. That seems to go well, but when the trio report back to Kato, they find that Fuse had described the whole situation to Kato. Fatalities ensue. Resentment increases. Kataoka gets schooled by his superior: did he not know that the Sanno and the Hanabishi were secretly allied?To get the pot boiling even harder, Kataoka arranges for the release of Otomo, whom Kimura (released years before) shanked in prison. Kataoka had misled many (such as Chairman Kato) into thinking Otomo was dead. Now the detective brings him forth to heat things up.Kataoka arranges a meeting between Kimura and Otomo, which goes surprisingly well. Also, he nudges them toward 'helping' the alliance between Hanabishi and Sanno to fail magnificently.That is most of the early context of the film. How goes the execution? Quite well, I would say.-----Scores-----Cinematography: 10/10 Excellent, professional.Sound: 8/10 No particular problems, but them again, I was following the sub-titles.Acting: 10/10 Even better than the original.Screenplay: 8/10 Nice story development. Not as many plot points as the original, but easier to follow.

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!
