Adapted from Japanese film called Rashomon, U Mong Pa Meung (The Outrage) takes place in a wood during Thai's Lanna period where a mysterious murder happens. The story is told through three witnesses: a young monk, woodcutter and undertaker.

Outragedoesn’t reach the transcendent levels ofFireworks but still provides an effective look at the yakuza domain. It easily outdoes Zatoichiand Brother and represents an excellent return to form.

Similar to Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive but on a much grander scale, the violence plays out with a surprising quickness that can be off-putting to some viewers. Kitano is already planning a sequel for next year, which is interesting since only a few characters reach the end credits. Regardless, this environment should provide fertile ground for him to continue to explore the rougher side of the criminal enterprise.
