7/10
I liked the first half (the plotting and execution of the ultimately botched murder) a lot more than the second (the investigation and the sting to nab the real guilty party). Actually it reminded me a lot of Kurosawa's High and Low in that sense, which was kind of funny. The dialogue (there's so much of it) is incredibly sharp, almost encyclopedic...it's amazing the amount of detail crammed into this one crime.
