Jason Lee Jan 04 2017 1:31 am Outstanding acting. Very impressive character with charisma

Po:lo Aug 01 2014 9:07 pm Hi. What about a third Outrage film? In a few news articles I saw that he is going to make a third Outrage movie. Does anyone know when its coming out??

henry May 14 2014 9:14 am Understanding his works will allowed your inspiration to admire his presntations of "The Soul Of Japan"> Perhaps some of Yukio Mishima's works have shades upon this brillant director.

Darek Feb 03 2014 9:13 pm very good.Kitano-the best!
