A new poster is out touting Takeshi Kitano’s new subversive crime comedy, Broken Rage. Kitano directs a cast that also lists fellow Kubi co-stars Tadanobu Asano and Shidō Nakamura, and Nao Omori, along with career cohort Hakuryu for the Amazon MGM Studios-produced flick. Kitano’s Broken Rage explores “comedy within a violent film,” to redefine the norms of the yakuza crime genre.

He’s got thirty years in the field and his latest now comes primed with martial arts fan fare in English-language indie fantasy actioner, Game Of Death: The Six Doors To Hell.
