The banal plot is the weak spot, but the action at the climax is good.

Audience Reviews for Mysterious Mr. Moto
Typical entry into the Hollywood "inscrutable Asian as wily detective" cliché that cheats the audience by keeping the clues from us until the reveal at the end: only the detective noticed!!! Still, its a fun genre, while there are no surprises (at least not anymore).
