My badI missed a day a couple days ago so I'll try to make up for that. My average is still higher than 1 movie per day since I started this, so that's on track. (7/7/7)
Background
It's another Kurosawa movie with Toshiro Mifune. Loosely based on the book King's Ransom by Evan Hunter.
What's this about?
A kidnapping occurs and it gets really interesting after that. A police procedural movie.
Thoughts
This is the kind of movie that shows stuff which other movies would just glance over. Scenes that would last 1 minute and be brushed aside are given focus and last longer than usual, for example there's a scene with all the police that are involved in the kidnapping case, and they go over many different aspects of the case in detail.
On another note this movie made awesome use of widescreen, with characters placed on opposite ends of the screen, and well framed shots like this:
The story also has a good balance of focus between the police crew, and the main character (Mifune). Rating
Aww Hell Yeah!
