Avg. Rating:	4.6 / 5 (based on 4 ratings). What did you think of it?
Plot:	The setting is Tokyo in the late 1940s, its streets blasted by war and its economy in collapse. When a detective loses his gun he must go undercover, descending into a hell teeming with characters as down and out and as desperate as he is.
Overview:	A masterful mix of film noir and police thriller set on the sweltering mean streets of occupied Tokyo. When rookie detective Murakami (Toshiro Mifune) has his pistol stolen from his pocket while on a bus, his frantic attempts to track down the thief lead him to an illegal weapons market in the Tokyo underworld. But the gun has already passed from the pickpocket to a young gangster, and Murakami's gun is identified as the weapon in the shooting of a woman. Murakami, overwhelmed with remorse, turns for help to his older and more experienced senior, Sato (a superb performance by Takashi Shimura). The race is on to find the shooter before he can strike again.
