Develiker terrible... so disappointed.

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

bensonmum2 Mr. Moto is tracking a group of foreign spies intent on destroying the French fleet as it enters the Suez Canal. By doing so, the foreign powers hope to stir-up animosity between France and England.Mr. Moto's Last Warning is a decent enough entry in the Mr Moto series, but far from being the best. The biggest problem I have with it is the pacing. Moto films usually have more life and energy to them. This one sort of drags in spots. I can't put all the blame on director Norman Foster as I don't necessarily think this is the best script he was given to work with. The script doesn't seem to have as much "meat" to it. I don't have any proof, but there is probably more padding in Mr. Moto's Last Warning than the other Moto films.Still, this is Moto so it's still going to be a fun movie. Lorre is as good as always. I've typed this a couple of times recently, but I don't think he ever gives a bad performance. Mr. Moto's Last Warning has one of the best supporting casts you'll find in one of these films - Geogre Sanders, Ricardo Cortex, John Carradine, Robert Coote, Virginia Field, and E.E. Clive. What a cast! The rest of the movie is great. Technically, as with all the Moto films, it looks like an A-movie.One small thing that I've always enjoyed about Mr. Moto's Last Warning is the reference to the film Charlie Chan in Honolulu. I understand that this was done in part to pay tribute to Warner Oland who had recently passed away. Nice touch.

michaeljhuman I really enjoyed this one. I wish an actual Japanese person had been used as an actor, but you know how it was back then.The plot was interesting enough. The scenes were all pretty good. I was mostly engaged with the movie and did not get bored.I like this kind of lighter detective/spy movie, not too serious but reasonably believable ( in the Hollywood sends of believable which means, I can suspend my disbelief without much effort.)Dialog was average, acting was average but somehow the whole thing worked as entertainment. This was in my box set of 50 mysteries, all apparently in the public domain, and a cheap set but audio/video was sufficient to watch it without getting annoyed.I would have maybe liked to see more of the Mr Moto character - disguise master, judo master, and overall very resourceful and clever. I love characters like that

gavin6942 Moto (Peter Lorre) thwarts a ruthless band of international agents who try to foment an international incident by mining the entrance to the Suez Canal and blaming the British.Worth noting is that one of the saboteurs (Danforth) is played by John Carradine, the patriarch of the Carradine family. At this point he was part of John Ford's stock company, but had not quite broken out with his roles in "Stagecoach" (1939) and "Grapes of Wrath" (1940), so his Moto role could reasonably be called pre-fame.Thanks to its accidentally falling into the public domain, this is the most-seen Moto film. While not the best, it is a good entrance into his world, and hopefully a cheap copy will encourage fans to seek out better versions.

Hitchcoc I've always enjoyed Peter Lorre. When you run the gamut of actors from the inception of the motion picture, I can think of no one to match him. Here he plays a Chinese detective. His credibility is in question because of that very fact. Nevertheless, there is a sort of acceptance due to the wisdom of Asians. I suppose this all came out of the Charlie Chan mythos. In this one there is a plot to blow up the French fleet. It would be a major act of war and a great defeat. Mr. Moto is forced to make his way among a bevy of bad guys. There's espionage, double dealing, but he makes his solitary way through this confusing mess. One of the bad guys is a ventriloquist who seems to have a sick fascination with his dummy. Of course, this all works into the plot. Mr. Moto manages to engage the help of several other characters and finds a way to save the day.
