NY cops in Japan - Cool!
|
I will spare you the plot details - tons about what happens has already been written. I'll just tell you if what happens, works. In this case... it does, and very successfully.
Put a couple of NYC cops, who are far from being your text-book, right-out of the academy-pristine cops (which seems about right for a couple of NYC detectives), and send them to Japan to deliver and then recover a really bad gangster.
This movie was made at the end of the 80's, but the settings, story line and dialogue is perfect even for 2008. It is an action movie that really has you interested in what is going on and makes you want to get the bad guy, right along with our hero cops.
The pace of the movie is done quite well and Ridley Scott leaves very little on the screen that was unnecessary - even the karaoke bar scene had it's place and was worthwhile. The sense and feel of the movie is very realistic and believable. The thugs scare you and the cops are out to get their man - no matter what. That's what we want in our cops vs. robber movie.
The side plots in this movie work well and never stray from the main action. The whole - is Michael Douglas's character a bad cop on the take, worked for me and I was interested. Kate Capshaw's character was well done and her screen time was good, which was edited enough so that you didn't feel they went overboard with her. The movie does a sweet job by not giving us too much info about the gangsters, and that works quite well for the pacing in the film.
Give Black Rain a look and it will be worth your time. You'll also understand why movie cops put tv cops to shame, for the most part. The Blu-Ray was clean and perfect-o. Exactly what we want out of our hi-def movies. |
