Out

A fun and entertaining little brawler, but a bit too basic to stand out from its peers. With films like High & Low still doing very well, expectations for something like this are a bit steeper nowadays. Out doesn't do anything wrong specifically, there just isn't enough there to set itself apart.

After Iguchi is released from a juvenile detention center, he is forced to work in a restaurant, far away from his own gang. It doesn't take long before he meets some of the local gang members. He befriends them but he also doesn't want to betray the trust of his guardians. A tough task when a rival gang starts making trouble.

The styling is proper, the performances are fun and energetic and the comedy is on point. The film is a bit too long maybe and the action scenes aren't all that impressive, which is where the film loses out compared to its competitors. Still, if you like a fun brawler, Out won't disappoint. Good fun.
