Were it not for the fact that almost the entire cast is Japanese, I would have thought I was watching a lost Sam Fuller classic. This seedy gangster film has top-notch writing, directing, and acting. The print of the film is exceptionally clear, emphasizing the superb lighting of this black-and-white drama. The story of a diamond thief who attempts to make amends to a crippled partner in crime unfolds in classic noir fashion, and there is a refreshingly offbeat take on the femme fatale role. The only flaws are a couple brief inappropriate musical passages and one or two moving shots that exhibit a little shakiness. Highly recommended for film buffs.
