On the surface, “Broken Rage” might seem like a fairly boilerplate crime thriller. It centers on an aged hitman forced to go undercover in a criminal syndicate after cutting a deal with two police detectives. It sounds like pretty standard stuff for the genre but this Prime Video original is hiding a secret.
Directed by acclaimed Japanese filmmaker Takeshi Kitano, “Broken Rage” landed on Prime Video this week, and after streaming it for myself, I can comfortably say it’s among the most unique movies I’ve ever watched (and I’ve watched a lot of movies in my time). And at just a little over an hour long, it’s a movie that every Prime Video subscriber should find time to watch.
