	Author	Review
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Mr. Kitano's immaculate compositions and eccentric flourishes are part of the film's sustained, muted pleasures and are often in service to some underlying meaning."	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	" I expected a better time (...) This one almost expresses impatience: '¿You wonder why I haven't given you violence? Very well, please have some violence' (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Maggie Lee The Hollywood Reporter	"As violent, amoral and misanthropic as a Jacobean play, 'Outrage' is Takeshi Kitano's first yakuza flick since 'Brother', and arguably his best film in a decade."	POS
United States	Keith Phipps AV Club	"Compared to the dramatic riches Kitano used to find amid the bloodletting, 'Outrage' feels pretty paltry."	NEU
United States	V.A. Musetto New York Post	"The editing (by Kitano) and lensing are stylish and guaranteed to keep viewers hooked through the final rubout."	POS
United States	Ben Sachs Chicago Reader	"Kitano is clearly enjoying his powers as a master of the form, and the movie invites the viewer to share in his enjoyment."	POS
