A Japanese private eye movie where the hero is called Maiku Hama and drives a Nash Rambler? Yep, this is it. He has an office over a movie theater and one has to purchase a ticket to go inside, only 1000 yen! While gambling Maiku gets into a scrape involving a Taiwanese waiter and finds out the waiter has a missing brother whom he agrees to find, and trouble ensues from there. Seems a bunch of Hong Kong and Taiwanese mob types have formed a new Yakuza gang and they're no one to mess with. This has a good sense of humor to it and yet is also pretty violent at times. It's filmed in B&W like an old-time detective movie but you can tell it's in modern times and there's no attempt to make it look like the 40's or 50's. It's entertaining enough but a bit confusing at times and the ending was REALLY confusing although kind of humorous. Something about a sequel, which if there truly is one I don't know if I'd see it. But, this is different enough to be entertaining and amusing if you're in the mood for a private eye flick of the Asian type. 7 out of 10.
