One of the really........


great E.G.Robinson roles. Played to perfection(as usual by Eddie). Also a great final scene, I shan't spoil it, you'll have to see it for yourself. PS, I knew someone would make a racist comment about this movie,with whites playing the Chinese parts. Don't let that or the ratings fool you. Watch it the next time it is on.

I agree. They did a good job on EG Robinson to look Chinese, but my only complaint is he needed to dump his Bronx accent and speak like the other Chinese!

I watched this movie last night, and it's indeed great. And the final scene is so surprising!
A pity people rate this kind of movies lower than they should, just because political correctness seems to be in everybody's blood nowadays. To those people I would like to say: get a life, and worry about things that really matter.

This was the 30th movie with Edward G. Robinson I watched, and I'm looking forward to more. Fortunately, there are!

It's called acting.
