Dragnet Girl features an array of seemingly debased molls and violent loners who blow off steam with punching bags in between petty wrongdoings, but it never outright vilifies any of them.

An homage to contemporaneously popular American Gangster films, Yasujiro Ozu's early formal achievement, Dragnet Girl, tells the story of the simmering attraction between a career mobster and the wholesome older sister of a new recruit that comes much to the ire of his longtime moll.

What are critics saying?
Chicago Reader by Jonathan Rosenbaum
One of the most striking of Ozu’s American-style silents.
Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington
Heavily influenced by Sternberg's "Underworld," this is one of Ozu's oddest, most enjoyable departures; it reveals him as a first-rate noir director. [09 Jan 2005, p.C11]
The New Yorker by Richard Brody
Though the violence never uncorks and the story takes a sentimental turn, the deep shadows, the jarring angles and cuts, and the idiosyncratic whims of gesture evoke a sorry underworld that’s out of joint, out of luck, and out of time.
