The only of a successful shoe company receives a ransom demand for his son, but it's a case of mistaken identity.
This is the second film I've watched from Akira Kurosawa, I was pretty blown away by his skills when I watched Seven Samurai only recently, I'm making it my mission to see more.
I see the quality of Seven Samurai is replicated here as well, I was totally blindsided, this is one supremely good film.
I suppose it's a story about justice, in some ways it's a game of cat and mouse, but it's broader than that, it deals with class, justice, morals and so much more.
After a fairly slow moving, but intense opening, it builds as it develops, picking up the pace, in some points it's a fast moving film, the only issue I had was reading the subtitles, as it does move by very quickly, some scenes I had to rewind once or twice to digest.
I love 60's crime films and shows, the likes of Hitchcock, Wallace and Durbridge, there are so many twists and turns here, this will keep you entertained from start to finish.
10/10.
