- Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2025Good movie
- Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2021Irreverent, brainy, stylish and filled undercurrents of clashes from police, cultural, corporate, political, technology. This movie, like Crichton's book is a great suspense story that lets us into a world of cut-throat corporations jockeying for control of tech and narrative. I enjoyed the detective cat and mouse game, along with the variations from the book.
I don't get folks who claim there were "stereotypes" here. The movie, like it's book source material, offers a spectrum of filled in Japanese characters of various, assimilated to insoluble, honorable to gray to less reputable types that parallel their American counterparts, who also equally come with their skeletons in the closet. Like Crichton's book, the crime and it's investigation are almost just the background to these high stakes business clashes that suck in all who come near them to pick sides.
Snipes does well as a detective/liason trying to assist in a murder investigation, while frustrated with restricting ettiquette imposed on him and having the tables turned on him as he learns more. Connery is great as a wise well schooled in the world, somewhat bitter and hypocritical at times "Senior Man" guiding his junior police partner. But for me, it was Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa who stole the movie as the irreverent, epicurean, Americanized, politically savvy Eddie Sakamura. He's first presented as a partying, fast cars, fast women loving scion at the start, but that's just a facade. As the maneuvering by players continues, there's more to him and his playing hardball against a rival Japanese corporation for his fathers's interest. I found myself rooting for the guy, even with some of his morally questionable decisions.
This is a rich, re-watchable movie. I was swept up by it's brisk pace the first time. There's always something going on, some person or group trying to play an angle. On re-watch, I was able to enjoy piecing together all the different players maneuvering against one another. Very enjoyable.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2025I was able to watch the full movie with no digital mess up very happy with the purchase
- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2024interesting action/detective movie
- Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2024The first, and best detective movie based on a "deep fake." A bit dated, the technology is readily available now to do what was central to the plot, and the "Japan-o-phobia" is now passe'.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2024Great movie
- Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2024Product was as described and better ***** 5 Stars across the boards *****
- Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2007There are several things clashing in this film.
It is a clash of wills between Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes. Both have an idea of how to investigate a murder and both are convinced theirs is the best way.
It is a clash between American and Japanese culture. A murder takes place in the offices of a Japanese corporation located in California. Values differ and so do approaches to solving the crime.
It is a clash between the corporate and the criminal world. And it is also the story of collusion between the two.
It is a clash between the political and business worlds...except that I mentioned that in the previous paragraph.
Wesley Snipes is the lead investigator of the murder. He has been told he needs to work with Sean Connery. Connery is not longer on the force but works as a consultant for Japanese corporations. He is thoroughly taken with their culture and ideals. Communicating this to the rasher Snipes is not always easy.
This film has a large technology component. It should have some appeal for technophiles. As a murder mystery, it is fine but nothing to get excited about.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Film With two great actors
This is a fantastic film film with two great actors as they work together after some minor conflicts between each other along the way.
A murder is investigated & Snipes & Connery work to track down the culprit.
Connery who understands the Japanese tries to teach snipes along the way what to do & what to avoid relating to Japanese customs. Connery gives some superb fighting tricks along the way
Definatly worth waching again

かっちゃんReviewed in Japan on July 22, 2012
3.0 out of 5 stars 経済戦争時に製作された「ヘンテコ日本映画」。笑えます。
大東亜戦争の太平洋戦線熾烈な頃、日米両国でプロパガンダ映画が量産された。
かなり偏った作品も多いが、実はこの時代には秀作もある。
当然お互いの国民は戦後まで観ることができなかったが、1944年の日本映画に
クリスマスツリーが出てきたり、かなりユーモアがあったことも事実。
戦争になるとこういう作品が作られるのだが、本作もまさに「日米経済戦争」の頃に
作られた「反日映画」である。製作総指揮にS・コネリーが付いているが、コネリーは
あの珍作「007は二度死ぬ」でもヘンテコ日本を満喫しており、あんまり
アジアは好きじゃないんだろうなあ・・・。
ストーリーはあってないようなもので(笑)、芸者や忍者炸裂のバカ映画を楽しんで
欲しいが、待望のHD化は「DVDよりは綺麗かな」というレベルだ。
スタジオ撮影部分は素晴らしいが、特にカリフォルニアの青い空の下でのロケ撮影
部分は粗い感じだ。まあ元素材がそうなのだろう。
MAKOは数少ない(というか雪洲とゴジラしかいない)ウォーク・オブ・フェームに
名を刻む日本人俳優だが、どうも晩年の出演作はツイてなかった。
本作とかふんどし一丁の「パールハーバー」とか、自身もかなりキツかったらしい。
C・H・タガワはUSCから早稲田に留学したこともある麻布生まれの日本人俳優
(ただし国籍は5歳からアメリカ)だ。現在でも主軸の日本人俳優役があれば
結構呼ばれている。
特典映像がないのは辛いが、悪役日本人を喜々として観られるので
良く分からないが3つ星です(笑)。
