The gang theme is Kitano Takeshi's masterpiece, and the violent aesthetics of red blood and dark background still exist in the film. However, compared with the blood and blood of the previous film, the violent scenes of the film appear to be somewhat restrained. The electric drill kills are handled by Baotou, and the faces of the baseball kills are not made too horrible. Most of the bloody scenes are shots, directly. Right, this also shows that the sequel has a different theme from the previous one. In the previous one, everyone is a villain, magnifying the "evil" part to the extreme, while the sequel confirms the phrase "come out and get paid sooner or later". As the old saying goes, the victors in the previous games all died in the end because of Otomo's revenge, which contained a positive side.
It is worth mentioning that the iconic face of Kitano Takeshi is not just playing a cold-blooded murderer, but is engraved with a deep imprint of his personal self-deprecating style. When watching movies, I often burst into laughter. The reason is that I saw Kitano Takeshi personally walking forward with a gun, but his facial paralyzed face seemed to say "Those who block me die" and "Do you treat me as a fool?" Can't help but laugh.
However, as far as the movie itself is concerned, the narrative technique and artistic effect of "アウトレイジビヨンド" did not have much breakthrough. The gang violence film should have "HIGH turn the whole scene". It is lengthy, and at the same time, for viewers who have not seen the previous work, to fully understand the gang structure and survival rules in the film, a certain amount of experience in watching the film is required. In addition, the biggest problem is that the wit part in the film is very superficial and has no technical content. The ingenuity of several gangsters is almost vulnerable. In the process of vendetta, the bodyguards are useless, and every goal is like a turtle in a urn. Simple and easy to "kill"

This work is basically a continuation of the upper story. After a brief review of the upper content through the mouth of the criminal policeman Kataoka, a new gang dispute began. Whether it is the underworld and the white, every character is full of intrigue, so in the final analysis, morality and justice have already died out in this land, and everything is just a contest between black and black.
Compared with the intricate plot and ambiguous character identities of the first "Extremely Evil", this "アウトレイジビヨンド" is slightly thin, and the characters are treated almost like facial makeup, and everyone's careful thoughts are clear at a glance. The armed confrontation between various characters also appeared to be too easy and simple, weakening the armed forces that the Japanese gangs should have. The lack of female characters in the film shows the masculine characteristics of Japanese gangs.
But after all it is Kitano Takeshi, even the gangster movie does not let go of humor. The embarrassment of the rookie who has just entered the gang makes people laugh, and his signature expressionless face drew bursts of laughter as soon as he appeared on the stage. The film’s performance on violence is slightly convergent compared to the first one. Simple and direct shooting is the most common way of death. Although an electric drill is used, the blood is still covered with cloth, and the segment of cutting the finger to apologize is changed to biting the finger. But this time Kitano Takeshi created an interesting violent method, which is to repeatedly beat the ball from the self-service baseball machine, which not only saves manpower, but also achieves the goal innocently. The creative ideas of this violent director are endless
