Japanese title: "Tengoku to jigoku" (1963)

High and Low - 9.5/10
A great Akira Kurosawa film starring Toshiro Mifune as Gondo, an executive shareholder in a shoe company that is in the middle of a stock manipulation scheme to takeover the company by the other 'holders, when his son is kidnapped and held for ransom.
Spoiler:
Except they got the wrong boy. They took the chauffeur's son by mistake.
Will Gondo pay the ransom, or use his fortune to secure his job?
Watch the movie and find out.
I really enjoyed this movie, especially the police investigation aspect of it.
And Toshiro Mifune's acting, as usual, is awesome to witness.

I also finally watched The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King today, and tonight.
It was, simply put, superb. 10/10!!
