My rating: 2 stars out of 4

(DVD, Fox)
The first Mr. Moto picture tries to establish Peter Lorre as a Japanese version of Charlie Chan. Is he with the police? A bad buy? A detective? His background is a mystery and you are not sure if you are supposed to root for him or not. He's got an amazing array of talents, from card dealing to magic tricks, and is a deadly fighter, well at least his double is a deadly fighter. There are occasionally atmospheric locations in San Francisco and Shanghai, but otherwise Moto is off to a rocky start.
