From The Movie Guide: "Samurai capitalism. One of Akira Kurosawa's most obviously political films, THE BAD SLEEP WELL is a prophetic indictment of Japan's cutthroat, feudalistic approach to business. ... One of Kurosawa's finest achievements, THE BAD SLEEP WELL becomes even more interesting when viewed as a predecessor to HIGH AND LOW (1963), an equally jaundiced look at Japanese mores."
