If I recall correctly, the movie Dallas Buyers Club (2013) rebooted the career of Jared Leto. Since then I remember him playing a few roles but he seems to chose to play sociopaths. In The Outsider, he did a good job.
The story is something you'd expect from a movie about Yakuza, yet it has a slight romantic twist. My main complaint is that I felt to be watching a movie by Takeshi Kitano in which Takeshi Kitano never appeared.
What confused me in The Outsider, though, is the setting. It should be post-WWII Japan, although I've been struggling to understand when exactly. The movie implies it is at the time the US Army was ending the occupation of Japan, yet the cars seemed as if they were from 1960s, while the suits everyone was wearing looked pretty modern. I admit, I'm no expert in the history of automotive and fashion industries...
