| User ReviewAlex SMr. Moto doesn't play around - he gets the job done! Headed to Shanghai to fnd a murderer, he uncovers a greater mystery, and definitely has to do some quick thinking. |
| User ReviewMichael TLorre's first stint as the Japanese detective is fast-moving & enjoyable. |
| User ReviewChristopher B"Mr. Moto is a very difficult fellow to kill." The plot is only so-so: Hobbyist detective, Mr. Moto tricks & sneaks his way through a seafaring investigation of Shanghai bound narcotic smugglers. Peter Lorre, on the other hand, is quite amazing. His Mr. Moto is so sweet and charming...until he needs to kill your ass--then, he's quick and brutal. Think Fast, Mr. Moto is a solid start to the somewhat forgotten franchise. VF. |
| User ReviewTristan DThe first Mr. Moto adventure is a great introduction to the character. There's plenty of double cross, beautiful women, disguises and exotic locations to keep viewers captivated. Even the ongoing and oddly placed comic relief from the elderly couple on the ships seems to work. |
| User ReviewUgly TThe first of the Mr. Moto series with Peter Lorre as the Japanese detective is a good deal of fun and a great counterpoint to Charlie Chan. |
| User ReviewRichard SI really liked the Mr. Moto character that Peter Lorre played. |
