I would have sworn Man from Reno was adapted from a book. But it wasn't. It's an original screenplay—from director Dave Boyle and co-writers Joel Clark and Michael Lerman—that feels as thorough and intricate as a thick novel. Told half in English and half in Japanese, it's a film noir, of sorts, that builds to a fitting conclusion, but eschews any sort of resolution. It's a mystery that doesn't end when the movie does. by Ned Lannamann
