Director Ridley Scott, who created two of Hollywood's most impactful and stylish adventure thrillers, Alien and Blade Runner, hits the mark again in Black Rain. Academy Award-winner Michael Douglas (Fatal Attraction, Wall Street) and Andy Garcia (Internal Affairs, The Untouchables) play New York cops whose job to escort a vicious assassin back to his native Japan leads the two Americans into Osaka's exotic underworld and straight into the center of a raging, brutal "Yakuza" gangland battle.

Summary: PRETTY DARN GOOD
Comment: I rented this on tape years ago, and boy what a difference the blu-ray disc makes. Good picture, pretty good sound, lots of action and the relationship between Micheal and the Japanese "detective"? stole the show, especially the last two scenes. It was great.

Summary: Directorial and cinematographic brilliance by Scott, with wonderful cross-cultural observations
Comment: "Black Rain" provides a showcase for the directorial and cinematographic brilliance of Ridley Scott - whose love for the evocative nature of wet and shining surfaces owes more to Monet than to the fetishistic excesses of a photographer such as Helmut Newton. Gritty, wonderful "New York Cop" performance by Michael Douglas, matched by his partner Andy Garcia, with a perfect Japanese counterpart in Detective Masahira Masimoto of the Osaka Prefecture Police Department, played by Ken Takakura. Very nicely done cross-cultural references to the Japanese sense of group identity and loyalty, contrasted to the American ethos of "radical 'Cowboy' individualism." Lovely score by Hans Zimmer, looking forward to his work in "The Last Samurai."

Summary: I love it!
Comment: My favorite character is the villian (Yusaku Matsuda). His life story is very interesting. He did a great job in this film. It doesn't hurt that he is very attractive. A real bad boy!

Summary: Holds up over the years
Comment: I remember going to see this film in the theater.
I think it holds up over the years.
Great to look at, well acted.
1 thing I have NEVER liked about it is the Andy Garcia death scene. Just to look at, not realistic. For film only.
And, what started this story. IF Michael & Anthony were in this restaurant WHY DID THEY NOT STOP THE KILLINGS BEFORE THEY HAPPENED? They were police & had guns.
Still can't figure out little scene at the beginning of the film. WHY TAKE YOUR KID TO SCHOOL IN THE RAIN ON A MOTORCYCLE? Can't the kid get sick?
Good extras on this special edition DVD.
BUT, WHY A PLAIN JANE SILVER DVD? This film was great to look at with both the Japan & New York playing key roles in the film.
Film has the Ridley style. 1 of my favorites of his.
