Man from Reno is a modern noir thriller with an atypical plot structure and three finely-acted leads. A small town sheriff (Pepe Serna) and a Japanese mystery writer (Ayako Fujitani) separately get on the trail of a mysterious man (Kazuki Kitamura) who's obviously involved in something, but what? It's less a whodunit than a what-did-he-do, one at once outrageous - in the best noir tradition, it can get fairly convoluted - and grounded in the real world. Fujitani is particularly excellent as a writer uncomfortable with her writing and with her secrets, her intersection with a real crime filled with paranoid moments. This is a quiet, character-driven piece, but it's not without its thrills. It probably could have done with a more interesting title, however. 6 years 7 months ago
