IMDB

A rookie cop has his gone stolen by a pickpocket.  When he finds that his gun is being used in an escalating series of crimes, he becomes more emotionally entangled in attempting to find it and the person who has it.
“Stray Dog” is a fantastic movie.  A noir-influenced masterpiece that has immediately made it on my favorite movies list.  Kurosawa is one of the best, if not the best, film directors.  This movie is filled with beautifully framed shots, great acting, and perfectly conveys the emotion of the plot.  



10/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
