Magnolia Pictures has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray Takeshi Kitano's Autoreiji: Biyondo a.k.a Beyond Outrage (2012), starring Takeshi Kitano, Ryō Kase, Toshiyuki Nishida, Machiko Ono, and Ken Mitsuishi. The release will be available for purchase on March 11th.
Takeshi Kitano returns to his yakuza saga, Outrage, but this time a manipulative police crackdown on organized crime has ignited a tricky power struggle in the yakuza underworld. As the police force prepares a full-scale crackdown, anti-gang detective Kataoka wants to start a war between the Sanno crime family and the neighboring Hanabishi crime family in the hopes that they destroy each other. His trump card is Otomo (Kitano) – the rumored-dead boss of a defunct family that was destroyed by the Sanno. Otomo wants to retire from a life of crime, but finds himself drawn back in through Kataoka's manipulations as the Sanno and Hanabishi clans teeter on the brink of an all-out war.
