Notorious Eight (1981) stands out with its gritty portrayal of secret agents who are not just heroes but also gamblers with a unique moral compass. The pacing is uneven but that seems to add to its charm, giving viewers moments of tension followed by unexpected humor. The performances are a mixed bag, but that just reflects the rough-and-tumble world they inhabit. You can really feel the practical effects, especially in the action sequences - there's a rawness that modern films sometimes lack. Themes of justice versus corruption run deep here, particularly with the gangsters entangled with Japanese war crimes. It’s a wild ride, and while it may not be polished, it has a certain energy that keeps you engaged.
