I Am Waiting (俺は待ってるぜ, Ore wa matteru ze) is a 1957 Japanese crime film directed by Koreyoshi Kurahara.[2][3] "I Am Waiting" was part of the Nikkatsu film studio's wave of Japanese noir films, in order to compete with popular American and French films in Japanese box offices.[4][5] This film was made available in North America when Janus Films released a special set of Nikkatsu Noir films as part of the Criterion Collection.[6] These films include Rusty Knife, Take Aim at the Police Van, Cruel Gun Story and A Colt Is My Passport.
"I Am Waiting" was one of Nikkatsu's earlier successes.[7]
