Mifune and Kurosawa Crime Fiction. What else do you need?
Good detective story. Doesn't skip the small moments either.
You have to have some patience, but it’s an excellent crime drama. I loved so many different scenes for a multitude of reasons.
Good subject and material, nice mise en scene...
Great commentary on wealth class in Japan. Basically a double feature.
Another Kurosawa masterpiece. Nothing else to say. WATCH IT NOW.
Baby bird pattern recognition brain wants to call this Parasite's grandpa, but it's more than that! One of the best by one of the best.
Gripping Kurosawa! Really great slow burn drama.
It’s hard to articulate how hard this movie goes but it does NOT disappoint
A kidnapping thriller with some genuine surprises. The Kurosawa gang triumphs again!
