IMDB
An executive at a shoe manufacturer must choose between paying the ransom for his chauffeur's son and buying out a majority of stock to take control of the company.
“High and Low” contains a dramatic story where a man must choose between his way of life and the life of a child. It also shows police hunting down the kidnapper. Akira Kurosawa is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, directors in the history of film. This is not among my favorites of his films, but it is still excellent and a great example of his work. At nearly 2.5 hours, this movie is long, but it never felt that way, except when I was falling asleep (I watched this late at night, and it had nothing to do with the actual film).
9/10
