Audience Member Mr Moto tackles a gang of diamond smugglers--Bewilderin'!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Mr. Moto is a fascinating character being a prewar Japanese spy or private investigator. It is really uncertain about Mr. Moto, but Peter Lorre does a convincing job of playing him. The problem with the film is that I is almost comedic and I should be more mysterious, so instead of getting the Maltese Falcon you get the Three Stooges. The direction of this film just went the wrong way. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a decent Mr. Moto flick. The story is pretty good; you don't really know who the bad guy is until the end! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member First rate fun. There are plenty of twists and turns as always and Lorre does another fine job of chewing the scenery as Mr. Moto. Hymer does a good job as Twister and adds some good comic relief. It's also fun to look back on the character of Commissioner Gordon now that the name has become popularized by the Batman mythos. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
