Rating:  - Hello Moto
This is a fantastic compilation of Peter Lorre in some of his finest work. Understanding the genre is to appreciate Lorre for his masterful representation of Mr. Moto as the oriental detective.
Mr. Moto's Last Warning - A seemingly small man in statue but gifted in the art of judo. When the decoy Moto is murdered you feel that the real Moto will not stop at nothing to bring justice. A man of quick wit and chameleon abilities to blend in, joins up with a british agent to stop the suspected saboteurs. Mr. Moto faces death several times and survives by observational powers of deduction and underwater skills. A top notch performance by Mr. Lorre and George Sanders really make this film a worthwhile experience.
I will let you buy the set to experience the rest. A must own for any Mystery or Thriller fan.
Rating:  - Kentaro Moto versus Joanie Weston...a tough choice, but I'll bet on Joanie
By now the Mr. Moto series has settled for the most part into the standard low budget conventions of minimal investment by the studio in the hope of maximum return. Kentaro Moto is still interesting, a combination of politeness, a clever mind and violence. Peter Lorre makes him worth watching, but Lorre, who resented being stuck in these programmers and not making much money out of them, is just doing what he has to do. That wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing in a programmer if the plots were complicated, the dialogue displayed writing skill and the acting went beyond moustache twirling. That's not the case with some of these four.
Mr. Moto in Danger Island:
Moto is in Puerto Rico to crack a case of diamond smuggling. Cheap South American diamonds are flowing through Puerto Rica and flooding the world market. To catch the bad guys Moto will have to deal with a well-meaning governor, his blustery commissioner, assorted suspicious planters and shippers, and a swamp full of mud and quicksand. Mr. Moto in Danger Island is a B movie with a lazy plot, filled with flaccid clues and regularly punctuated by close-ups of one leading player looking suspiciously at another.
For a few old timers, however, Mr. Moto in Danger Island brings up memories of hard action, brutal tactics and a final score so closely fought only screaming can release the tension. If you can remember Dick Lane, who plays Commissioner Gordon in this movie, you'll know what I'm talking about. Lane played ... Read More

I have watched moto movies many times and very pleased with them this set is wonderful and no one takes the part as good as any actor but Peter Lorre. peter makes the movie and pity they dont release more of the series. out of all T V series and Movies it is the best you will ever get and for the low price they are sold at. the prints are very good and sound also. well worth buying for any collection I recommend it as 5 stars a great selection. do buy it if you like Peter Lorre. he takes the part very well. they dont make them like that anymore.

Rating: - Oh so?" This Moto Collection is Also Excellent!
Peter Lorre is wonderful as the "action" detective of his time (the 1930s), providing an excellent counterpoint to the more analytical Charlie Chan and Sherlock Holmes. I own the complete DVD collections of Moto, Chan, and Holmes, and enjoy viewing all of these films over and over again in rotation. The Moto films are terrific - I haven't found a clunker in the bunch. Highly recommended!
