The first Outrage movie was an all-out extremely violent yakuza gang movie, with traces of humor and dialogues. A popcorn movie, but still satisfying to watch.
The second Outrage movie built a more intricate set-up and story, that justified the 2nd half of the film scenes.
The third and final part, Coda, is about the clash between traditional / old-school yakuza versus modern, petulant yakuza.
It's about honor and respect of the code versus greed, constant betrayal and perversity.
The movie features better written dialogues than in the previous two parts, and an interesting take on how modern society might affect yakuza businesses.
Kitano's character, Otomo, follows the traditional code of honor of the yakuza, to the end. It was a beautiful story.
Note that the scenario doesn't actually consider the modern spirit to be negative in all circumstances: Otomo's boss, Chang, is a business man who has embraced modernity, and who does not condone violence.
Kitano delivered an amazing trilogy.
