Movie Info
When a prostitute is found dead in a Los Angeles skyscraper occupied by a large Japanese corporation, detectives John Conner (Sean Connery) and Web Smith (Wesley Snipes) are called in to investigate. Although Conner has previous experience working in Japan, cultural differences make their progress difficult until a security disc showing the murder turns up. Close scrutiny proves the disc has been doctored, and the detectives realize they're dealing with a cover-up as well.

Dec 11, 2011Entertaining. A whodunit that keeps you on your toes by sending the viewer down wrong paths as you try to determine who the killer is. Sean Connery usually does a great job acting, and this movie is no exception.Red L Super Reviewer

Jul 13, 2011the clash of cultures was fun to watch. the book was much more interesting but it was fun to watch these characters walking around. it works in certain cases but overall its a bit of a missBrendan N Super Reviewer

Apr 22, 2011A film that could have been so much more. Uneven pacing, and a plot that at first appears interesting and intelligent, yet eventually becomes asinine and ambiguous. Still, Snipes and Connery have surprisingly good chemistry, and it features one of the most underrated character actors of all time, Harvey Keitel. Overall the film is a bit of a mess, sometimes appearing worthwhile, and other times too confused and meandering.Jeffrey M Super Reviewer

Jan 09, 2011An awful, misguided mess of a movie. Every actor seems out of place, every line of dialogue contrived, every shlock moment of gratuitous sex or violence obviously engineered to evoke a reaction, which it does not. It has been said that this adaptation removes the anti-Japanese bias of the book, but in trying to soften the blow the filmmakers have tripped themselves up and are left with something that is still wholly offensive and startlingly obtuse in its ignorance. It seems that director Philip Kaufman had a film camera in one hand and a checklist of stereotypes in the other. There are no genuine moments of action or thrills in this plodding, so-called "action-thriller", and the high-tech element of photography forensics now seems awfully dated. This was a time when Wesley Snipes was a viable action star, but he spends the whole movie in dazed disbelief. When even Sean Connery visibly gives up on the project, one knows he is in deep trouble.Jedd Y Super Reviewer
