A Colt Is My Passport (拳銃 コルト は俺のパスポート) is not a film noir. It's more like a Western set in 1960s Japan than anything else. It is, however, a very enjoyable crime film with a central theme of fraternal loyalty that is quite compelling. The editing is excellent, and the acting is great.
As usual, I watched this as part of the Japanese Noir series on the Criterion channel. This is such a great series.
