Prime Video has set a streaming release date for the Takeshi Kitano comedy-drama BROKEN RAGE, which will begin streaming on their platform on February 13th, 2025. The film world premiered at last year’s Venice International Film Festival.
Directed, written by, and starring the legendary filmmaker Takeshi Kitano, 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 retells the same story using self-parody techniques, presenting it in a comedic style.
Tadanobu Asano, who starred in Kitano's Zatōichi (2003) and Kubi (2023) and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor for Shogun (2023), plays the lead detective trying to coerce Nezumi into cooperating as an undercover informant in a drug investigation. Nao Omori, who made his Hollywood debut in The Outsiders (2018) and has appeared in five of Kitano’s films, including Dolls (2002), Achilles and the Tortoise (2008), Outrage Coda (2017), and Kubi (2023), also plays a detective.
We’ve added the release date to our streaming calendar. Check out the film’s new trailer below.
