Well done
This one surprised me. Wasn't sure what to expect as it was under the "horror" section. It's not really a 'scary' movie but it was very entertaining. Started off a little slow but once it got going there were plenty of twists and turns throughout. The cinematography was good and the acting was done really well. This is another fine example of a movie not needing a huge budget to be done right. If you're a fan of crime/thriller style movies this one is gor you. Really worth a watch!

Good one
This thriller delivered. Another example of a movie done well even without a big budget. Donald Sutherland, as always, delivered a fine performance as did the other actors. The cinematography was ok. The storyline was unique and intense with plenty of turns throughout. Some parts were predictable but it didn't take away from the intensity at all. This movie poses many questions about the people and the justice system and how both are far from perfect. If you enjoy crime thrillers you'll enjoy this one. Worth a watch!

"High and Low is my personal favorite Kurosawa movie. I love everything about it: the chamber piece of the first half, the sprawling police hunt that follows, the fact that Toshiro Mifune’s character is so committed to making high-quality women’s shoes. And there are so many great moments throughout: the pink smoke, the train sequence, the amazing ending scene. I find it so stunning and effective, and I love the way the film gets at themes of class and social inequality in the form of such an exciting procedural crime thriller."
