Viewing Notes

Sunday morning serial: started this but had to pause halfway to get ready and listen to the Cubs before movie afternoon. Finished the final 30 minutes when I got home.

For this Moto sequel they ditch the mystery component for an espionage adventure. Odd decision but made for an enjoyable film with Moto in disguise for a lot of it. It’s set in Cambodia and features a native tribe involved in arms dealing.
