'''''Outrage''''' or アウトレイジ is a 2010 Japanese [[{{Yakuza}} Yakuza-film]] by Creator/TakeshiKitano. It is the story about Otomo (Takeshi) and his gang and how they are screwed over by his boss, heading the Ikemoto-gumi, and his boss' boss, the Kaicho (chief of the Kanto region). All begins with Otomo's boss ordering him to bring the Murase-gumi, an opposing gang whose boss is the {{blood brother|s}} of Ikemoto, back in line. What seems an easy job spirals out of control and ends in violence, bloodshed and death.

!!''Outrage'' provides examples of the following tropes:

* BlackAndBlackMorality: It's Yakuza vs. Yakuza and some dirty cops thrown in; what do you expect?
* BloodBrothers: Ikemoto and Murase had sworn brotherhood in prison. Too bad Ikemoto doesn't value it.
* BottomlessMagazines: Averted when Otomo uses his M1911, he fires seven shots and the the slide locks back as it is empty.
* CorruptCop: Detective Kataoka

* {{Gorn}}: Some scenes can border on this.
* GoryDiscretionShot: Used and averted, especially in the dentist scene.
* GratuitousEnglish: Used in several instances between the ambassador and some of the Yakuza. Justified because he is a foreigner and not all of the Yakuza speak the language.

* HonorBeforeReason
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Averted, everybody is shot from a close distance. And in the one where somebody is running away,the shooter misses from about 15-20 m away.

* ManipulativeBastard: The Kaicho, in spades. And for reasons that are entirely unclear (see ForTheEvulz above). [[spoiler: He gets out-manipulated by Kato.]]
* ThePlan: The Kaicho seems to be playing one. But so are Ikemoto and [[spoiler:Kato, who takes the place of the Kaicho in the end]].
* PlayboyBunny: One appears in the illegal casino.
* RunningBothSides: Kaicho offers [[spoiler:Ikemoto's]] former position to both [[spoiler:Kato and Otomo]] pitting them against each other.
