Movie Reviews

Seanax.com - 8/10 by Sean Axmaker... filmed with great moments of location atmosphere, [this] is one of Fuller's most striking commentaries on race.
The Retro Set - 7/10 by Nathanael Hood...as an exploration of coded male romance and Cold War-era racial politics, it's irreplaceable...
User Review - 10/10 by Eric RI found the way Fuller uses dialogue to be extremely fun. The way he mentions the face, and anything on the face, like ' I can see it in your face ' and stuff like that. I quite like how he uses that and brings this rather low-budget thriller with a not so entirely satisfying twist to life for the most part and even divert its tale.
User Review - 10/10 by Scott Ranother lost review on 1 of my favourite Sam Fuller movies
User Review - 10/10 by Walter Mwell umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch..its an old black n white movie but its worth a watch...i think that victoria shaw, anna lee, paul dubbov, james shigeta play good parts throughout this movie its an enjoyable movie 2 watch...i think that the director of this Mystery & Suspense movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie..its a good 1950's movie 2 watch
User Review - 8/10 by Jack Gone of Fuller's underrated (or just underseen) flicks, it's a lot of fun, specially in a packed theater, and has enough romantic melodrama to collide just splendidly with the hard-boiled noir.
User Review - 8/10 by Timmy RA smart little genre film that dares to be something and do something different. It is a film at least ten years ahead of its time as far as content. It fails in some scenes and the end comes about from no where. This is just a minor squabble as the film is more about relationships then the actual plot about a murder case. A film all Sam Fuller fans should watch as it is a smart little film.
User Review - 8/10 by Kris KPerhaps a minor Fuller, but I think his execution here of race relations is strong, a bit stronger than the more acclaimed yet slightly disjointed Shock Corridor. While Fuller treats similar tensions in House of Bamboo in a more sophisticated manner, here he is on home soil, driving messages home that much more. Perhaps a bit more melodramatic than his other works, I still think this is a strong film that marks his attempts to unite various genres -- i.e., noir, crime, thriller, social and political criticism -- as crucial in late-50s mainstream cinema.
User Review - 8/10 by Dave Ri thought this was a pretty good exploration of race relations. i had no idea what to expect when i started watching it. at first it seemed to be a cop movie but it evolved into more than that. a nice surprise!
User Review - 8/10 by Martin TAn odd movie. Part noir crime thriller, part love triangle, part racial issues movie. It handles all parts with some finesse, but it's the last that is the most striking. Fuller treats Japanese-Americans with a respect and dignity you don't see much of, even in today's films. Not a condescending stereotype in sight, even Asian music is incorporated into the score without a hint of caricature. Compared to the blunt and simplistic White Dog, it's amazingly deft and complex. James Shigeta, in his first role, is very very good, and Victoria Shaw does a decent job as well. Among the leads, Glenn Corbett is the weak link, not horrible but doesn't seem to match the quality of Shigeta's performance. There's also a fun supporting performance by Anna Lee. The film has a good deal of style and makes excellent use of Los Angeles locations. The editing is weird, though, and Fuller often "zooms" by simply enlarging a portion of the frame, which looks terrible. As a noir fan, I would preferred the crime story to play a more significant role in the story, but the sensitive handling of Japanese-American culture makes this film very worthwhile.
