Blu B Acting wise it's not bad thanks to Bogart who is great in this but everyone else is just forgettable. Save for his friend at the start but we never see him again until the end. His wife is alright and the two just don't have the best chemistry in the world. The villians are forgettable. Really the big issue is support wise no one really stays around long enough to develop much. Music and cinematography is good here with some solid direction. The black and white looks good/moody and the setting of post WWII Japan is memorable. It's cool seeing Bogart there. Editing and pacing are alright but this is where this falls apart. This is two stories. One is a love triangle in an almost Casablanca type setup and the second is a byproduct of the romance where it's like a war crime thriller trying to smuggle these bad guys in a plane. And it starts jumping around between the two and the crime plot just gets very convuluted and difficult to follow for no reason. I kind of got it andit does tie in at the end but it's still messy. Thankfully this isn't even 90 minutes, it's executed rather well, and Bogart help make this above average. If your a die hard fan of Bogie or the director this might be worth checking out but most could skip this and not miss much. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/06/25 Full Review Roger S Great action scenes. Easy to see what inspired Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Bogart is looking very well, considering he had less than ten years left to live. What a judo fighter! Bogart wears both a medium trenchcoat and a tuxedo.

"Tokyo Joe" no sera la mejor pelicula de Bogey, pero es una cinta muy entretenida y emocionante. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
