It's a well done thriller, but it's more than that with Kurosawa's compositions and the values being explored in the film between high and low class, tradition versus modernism/Westernism. The tension of the first half can seem faster than the latter portion where a police procedural takes the focus, but the same values and biases are at stake in both sections. Why the police make choices they do in the latter half are informed by the first, and lay bare their prejudices, as well as society's. The film's final minutes are chilling.
