Reviews for The Crimson Kimono
The Crimson Kimono is mostly a hard-boiled cop thriller, but also manages to make a defiant anti-racist statement without ever getting on a soapbox.
Beyond the preponderance of sweaty close-ups and rat-a-tat-tat cutting in Fuller's films, his peacetime cinema views relationships as a string of tribal skirmishes.
Harry Sukman's score courts condescension whenever the action shifts to Little Tokyo, but it's the film's only slip.
