Movie Reviews

Time Out - 10/10 by David FearA masterpiece that pinpoints the sublime in Fuller's sensationalism and earns every inch of its widescreen real estate.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Donald J. LevitLocation-shot without permission in Tokyo-Yokohama, this CinemaScope noir zooms in on touristy sights without capturing the nation's postwar trauma about to move into transformation.
Filmcritic.com - 9/10 by Chris BarsantiThe limits of the lengths to which dazzling camerawork and curled-lip noir bravado can make up for thoroughly ham-fisted dialogue are tested in Sam Fuller's gangster picture
MUBI - 8/10 by Fernando F. Croce[House of Bamboo] is an example of the iconoclastic filmmaker's ribald eye for cinematic collisions of characters and forms.
Chicago Reader - 7/10 by Don DrukerOne of Samuel Fuller's best, a tough, sometimes nasty, but always exciting 1955 effort in 'Scope and color that unites three of his favorite topics: military comradeship, the underworld, and the Far East.
Variety - 7/10 by Variety StaffNovelty of scene and a warm, believable performance by Japanese star Shirley Yamaguchi are two of the better values in the production.
Combustible Celluloid - 6/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonFuller's masterful use of natural locations within the Cinemascope frame drives the film, especially the climactic shoot-out on a giant, spinning globe at a carnival.
The Retro Set - 6/10 by Nathanael HoodThe deficit of narrative and tonal cohesion prevents it from matching or exceeding the quality of the film it was loosely remade from: William Keighley's The Street With No Name (1948).
User Review - 10/10 by Jack GBeautiful colors + Robert Stack. So of course, great.
User Review - 10/10 by andrew kfuller the most underated director of all time
