Twenty-one-year-old Koji Mizui’s life spins out of control:
his girlfriend turns out to be a minor; he (sort of) loses his job after
spending time in jail falsely arrested; he kills one man, and then another, in
semi-self-defense. As a result, he ends up running from the mob and the police,
travelling with an abandoned six-year-old to whom he becomes a surrogate
father. In sum, noir crossed with a buddy movie crossed with Sesame Street. City of Refuge tries to be moving but ends up bland. Grade: C+
