Rising Sun - DVD

Both leads, Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes are very good as buddy cops, in Japan. There was some hew and cry back when film was released that it made the Japanese look bad. Well, they do play most of the roles, and cops are after bad guys, so yes, that's true. There are some good Japanese Cops in it too. Very interesting and taut plot, kept us captivated throughout the film. We miss Snipes, wish he would get back into films.

Great movie at a really great price. It's now a classic and has become better over time, back when every novel ever written my Chrichton or Grisham was being made into a movie, some good, some great, some ok. This one is somewhere in the middle of them all. Book was a thousand times better.

I love Michael Crichton books and this sticks closely enough to the original that it's worth the view. Even counting Jurassic Park they still haven't gotten one of his books perfect yet.

Based on Michael Crichton's novel of the same name, this film boasts a powerhouse cast led by Sean Connery, Wesley Snipes, Harvey Keitel, Tia Carrere, Mako, Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa, Ray Wise and Steve Buscemi. Directed by Philip Kaufman, the film keeps the suspense throughout the end. However, it is Connery's classy and authoritative portrayal of another aging mentor/father-figure (this time to Snipes' character) that makes the movie worth watching, despite it having been panned by some critics back in 1993.

Two excellent actors (Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes) are called to Japan to solve a murder mystery. Shows a part of Japan rarely seen outside of the country.
