Editorial Review:
Description:
A Los Angeles special liaison officer (Wesley Snipes) is called in to investigate the murder of a call-girl in the boardroom of a Japanese corporation. Accompanied by a detective with unusual knowledge of the Japanese culture (Sean Connery), the two men must unravel the mystery behind the murder by entering an underground "shadow world" of futuristic technology, ancient ways and confusing loyalties.

Author Michael Crichton and director Philip Kaufman had a falling-out over the script for this film, based on Crichton's best-selling novel (which was controversial for its take on the Japanese invasion of American business in the early '90s). Kaufman ultimately won, doing an above-average job creating a murder mystery based on the culture clash between Los Angeles cops and Japanese multinational business interests. When a prostitute is murdered at the opening of a new L.A. headquarters for a Japanese company, detective Wesley Snipes is forced to call upon retired cop (and Japanophile) Sean Connery to help solve the murder. But he runs into obstruction from the Japanese, as well as a high-tech cover-up, while having to deal with anti-Japanese sentiments from people on his own team. Intriguing if overlong. --Marshall Fine

This "Blu-ray" version is excellent. The video portion is much smoother and the audio is "far superior" to the regular DVD. One has to appreciate that this movie was initially released on VHS and the regular DVD of it was not much of an improvement. This blu-ray takes care of all the VHS flaws of the origional DVD release.

Rising Sun concerns the struggle to win and at what expense. It's story begins with the news that Senator Morton will vote against the sale of Micro-Con to Nakamoto which effectively ends their negotiations with the company, Micro-Con, and allows them to look into another offer. Somebody is determined to change the Senator's mind by way of a blackmail scheme. Who was involved? Tanaka, the head of Security was running the office at the time of the party. Cheryl Austin, the murdered woman, was undoubtedly ... Read More

Rising Sun is a textbook example of how to take a sure-fire, can't lose property and cock it up completely. It's not just a matter of the producers controversially changing the nationality of the killer that makes Rising Sun such a appointment: where Michael Crichton's novel weaved a multi-stranded web, turning issues into clues and bombarding the reader with information and clues to keep you guessing, director Philip Kaufman simplifies and makes it all patently predictable. Subplots are poorly handled, ... Read More

What works the best in Philip Kaufman's film version of the Michael Crichton novel is when we follow Web Smith (Wesley Snipes) and John Connor (Sean Connery) as they chase both leads and suspects in the hopes of solving the murder of a beautiful American prostitute found dead on a boardroom table in a Japanese high rise presumably at the hands of the Japanese. Unfortunately the film gives us a lot more to try and solve which is why original script writers including Crichton and Michael Backes walked off the ... Read More
