And here's my review of Akira Kurosawa's 1963 character-thriller, High and Low, starring Toshirō Mifune. This is the first entry in the Feature Pantheon series, which will have me revisiting the greatest movies ever made. The film follows a wealthy executive suddenly face with a dilemma: his hard-earned wealth or the life of someone else's child? What follows is a clever police procedural that's less of a whodunit and more of a whatsitdun. Hunter discusses the blocking of the opening hour, why the kidnapper wears sunglasses, and intellectual rug-pull of the film's final moments.
