Fantastic Kurosawa film that really encompasses two stories: an executive dealing with a kidnapping - not even his own son - and deciding between a life or his own financial well being and the subsequent aftermath of the police hunting down the kidnapper. Tense, dramatic and a bit of noir - a great blend from a masterful director.

Kurosawa, once again mastering a genre, devises a thriller that serves to intrigue, as well as give significant social commentary. The critic of social castes is biting, but never over-the-top in its message. One of Kurosawa's absolute best, though it sometimes goes unnoticed among the samuraii films.
