1963 | Drama, Mystery, Thriller

"One of the greatest urban crime films ever made. The first hour takes place in an industrialist’s living room, with huge picture windows that look over the city without seeing it, yet Kurosawa’s camera work is so deft and inventive you never feel the constriction—only pummeling suspense and a moral quandary. Toshiro Mifune plays coat-and-tie decency as well as he does his wild men, and Kurosawa descends into the lower depths with blinding clarity."

"This was one of the earliest tapes I ever had. It had The Four Seasons, oldies, doo wop and stuff. When I finally had a radio in my room when I was 9 or 10, I’d listen to this station in New York called 101.1 which just played oldies. I’d listen all night, waiting to hear “Dream Lover” or “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”. These epic songs of the ’50s and ’60s were the first songs I got obsessed with."

Reboot/continuation of the original 1990s Quantum Leap, which gets off to a slow start but does improve as things go along.

There are still some things that annoy me that I wish they would address, such as the lack of the Waiting Room and how come just about anyone can seemingly get into the Imaging chamber, but all in all it is an enjoyable enough watch once you get past the first couple of episodes.
