Headstrong but somewhat naive Keiichi (Jirô Tamiya) is coerced into a questionable get rich business scheme. An associate from the past has tracked him down, especially for this job... Keiichi agrees to go along and performs his part of the deal to the great satisfaction of his overseers. Earning a hefty commission Keiichi speculates on the stock market gambling for greater wealth. When he finds out that he was used in an elaborate plan of deceit, it is not righteous indignation he feels, Keichi now wants a larger share of the monetary spoils... An engrossing drama of personal ambition, of greed, corruption, of controlling corporate power, of those that struggle to climb up from the bottom rung in Japan's amoral post war social order... Yasuzô Masumura's bold cinematic presence is a highlight of late 50s and 60s Japanese cinema. With great emotion and outstanding noir composition Black Super Express is a captivating highly entertaining cinematic tale from a master of his craft... Highly Recommended !!
