Proof of the Man
CrimeDramaMystery132 min
After an American is found murdered at a Japanese inn, Tokyo detective Munesue follows the case across the Pacific, chasing leads from Tokyo into New York City. Yûsaku Matsuda is Munesue, a dogged investigator working far from home, while George Kennedy’s Shuftan becomes his NYPD counterpart on the other side of the search. What begins as a single killing opens into a cross-border mystery, with methodical police work, uneasy international connections, and a trail that keeps widening as the two detectives compare clues.
