Stray Dog

STRAY DOG (1949) - Oct. 22, 2006
About a cop whose gun is stolen, and who then becomes determined to catch the man who is using it to perpetrate a series of crimes, this was really well directed by Akira Kurosawa, though it was somewhat slow paced. Toshiro Mifune gave an excellent performance as the cop, and though the movie felt slightly overlong, it was really well made (though the quality of the transfer on the Criterion DVD was surprisingly bad). ***
