| User ReviewEric JPeter Lorre was a very talented actor. I love everything Japanese or relating to Japan so I had to see this pre-Pearl Harbor suspense film. While essentially a B Movie it was enjoyable. If nothing else to enjoy Lorre's range of talent playing different ethnic roles. |
| User ReviewAl MOdd to see Lorre as a Japanese agent, but it was a pretty good spy movie. |
| User ReviewChristopher BGood Setting & Atmosphere; Lorre is Fun to Watch--A detective with brains and brawn!! |
| User ReviewGregory Wpretty good B movie fare from hollywood's golden year 1939. |
| User ReviewJonathan SYou gotta love it. A modest production, but enough intrigue and fun to keep you watching. Plus Peter Lorre, John Carradine, and George Sanders. |
| User ReviewKevin M. WThe sixth in a series of eight stars Peter Lorre as a Japanese, George Sanders as French, and John Carradine as a Brit. The gist of these were the exotic locales and personages. The mystery tale is only complementary to that. Before James Bond these served the international espionage clientele pretty well. There's plenty of rough-and-tumble fisticuffs too. All in all, quite satisfactory, as spies only seek to completely destroy the entire French Navy, thereby ruining Anglo- Gallic alliances. Will Mr. Moto solve the case in time? |
| User ReviewMatt MOne of the last of the Mr. Moto series, here the Japanese sleauth must prevent a saboteur from blowing up a French fleet at the Suez Canal. Weak and predictable, perhaps suffering from a lack of new ideas. |
| User ReviewAj VAlways pleasant to see a string of actors we love, they're all perfect, even the compulsory blond is quite pleasant to watch. But the film I believe really suffers from a serious lack of budget, as a result 90% of the action takes place within the same two buildings bringing a very stale feeling to the film. Now the film also stands out due to a few good ideas that make it a pleasant watch. The bad guys are really bad, have clear motivation, they're quite smart too and they're also very imaginative. We're far from the somewhat artificial and über complicated intrigues dear to Hitchcock's heart at the same moment. This also leads to the few genuinely good moments of the film: the diving bell episode and the underwater fights. Finally, it is pleasant to see yet another American film set abroad shot between 1930 and 1939. |
