Man From Reno

Solid, as well.

quote:

---

“Man From Reno” belongs to the subgenre of noirs that gather new characters and subplots as they advance into the fog. You can never be sure if its Japanese characters are who they say they are, and many of the principals’ uncertain identities, compounded by the English-Japanese language barrier, lend “Man From Reno” an extra layer of mystery. As in a Patricia Highsmith novel, deception rules. Aki herself has a history of secrecy and duplicity, her first mystery novel having been written by someone else who died before it was published. The film by Mr. Boyle, who also directed “Daylight Savings” and “Surrogate Valentine,” has an undercurrent of dark comedy.

First Glass Chin, now this gem.

October at Netflix to this point, has been quite fruitful.
