Audience Member The best movie character ever portrayed: Peter Lorre as Kentaro Moto! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Lorre's first stint as the Japanese detective is fast-moving & enjoyable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member First of all, I love Lorre, but I can't get myself to believe his character is Japanese. The Mr. Moto movies are interesting at first, but they get silly and predictable like other detective movies. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member "Mr. Moto is a very difficult fellow to kill." The plot is only so-so: Hobbyist detective, Mr. Moto tricks & sneaks his way through a seafaring investigation of Shanghai bound narcotic smugglers. Peter Lorre, on the other hand, is quite amazing. His Mr. Moto is so sweet and charming...until he needs to kill your ass--then, he's quick and brutal. Think Fast, Mr. Moto is a solid start to the somewhat forgotten franchise. VF. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Mr. Moto doesn't play around - he gets the job done! Headed to Shanghai to fnd a murderer, he uncovers a greater mystery, and definitely has to do some quick thinking. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member The first Mr. Moto adventure is a great introduction to the character. There's plenty of double cross, beautiful women, disguises and exotic locations to keep viewers captivated. Even the ongoing and oddly placed comic relief from the elderly couple on the ships seems to work. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
