Twisted Action Comedy 'Broken Rage' Now Streaming on Prime Video

One of the most unique action movies, probably ever, is now available to stream on Prime Video. Helmed by and starring legendary Japanese filmmaker Takeshi Kitano (you’ll no doubt recognize him from his role in 2000’s Battle Royale and for hosting the hit gameshow Takeshi's Castle), Broken Rage was released last year, and follows Kitano as an aging hitman who is offered one last job in exchange for his freedom from a life of violence. While this may not sound all that different from the myriad of other action thrillers, Broken Rage comes with a twist. And what a twist it is. Directed, written, and led by Takeshi Kitano, Broken Rage tells the same story twice. First, as a brutal and bloody action thriller...and then again as a comedic parody. See, it really is quite the twisted approach to the age-old story of an aged action hero. Broken Rage stars Tadanobu Asano,

Takeshi Kitano’s Broken Rage Coming to Prime Video in February

Prime Video has announced that the Japanese Original film Broken Rage will launch on February 13, exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Directed, written by, and starring the legendary filmmaker Takeshi Kitano, who continues to receive worldwide acclaim, Broken Rage is based on his concept of exploring “comedy within a violent film.” This hour-long film is divided into two parts. The first half depicts a hard-boiled crime action where a hitman, caught between the police and the yakuza, struggles to survive. The second half ingeniously retells the same story using self-parody techniques, presenting it in a comedic style. This work, which director Kitano himself described as an experimental endeavor, was selected for the Out of Competition section at the Venice International Film Festival 2024. It marks the first Japanese film produced for streaming to be officially selected for the prestigious international film festival. Tadanobu Asano, who starred

Takeshi Kitano’s “Broken Rage” to Stream Worldwide on Prime Video After Venice Film Festival Debut

Takeshi Kitano’s new film, Broken Rage, will be available on Prime Video on February 13 worldwide. This streaming-only film is the first Japanese movie officially chosen for the Venice Film Festival. It will be shown outside the game at a major event in 2024. Kitano, a well-known Japanese film director, stars in and directs the movie. Kitano is known for his creative storytelling, and in Broken Rage, he takes a bold approach by mixing two different styles in the story. The first half is a gritty crime thriller about a hitman in a deadly conflict between the cops and the yakuza. The second half reimagines the same story through a comedic lens, using self-parody to shift the film’s tone. Kitano described his project as an experiment to see if there can be comedy in a violent film. Tadanobu Asano, who won the Golden Globe for Best Actor, stars in the film.
