Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Beyond the preponderance of sweaty close-ups and rat-a-tat-tat cutting in Fuller's films, his peacetime cinema views relationships as a string of tribal skirmishes.

Rating: 3/4 --
A noir-ish thriller with the heart of a social drama, making for a fascinating genre hybrid that showcases Fuller's innate ability to make films that were so much more than the sum of their parts.

The Retro Set
Harry Sukman's score courts condescension whenever the action shifts to Little Tokyo, but it's the film's only slip.
Slant Magazine
The Crimson Kimono is mostly a hard-boiled cop thriller, but also manages to make a defiant anti-racist statement without ever getting on a soapbox.
