This ones a guilty pleasure!Its got a really corny,far fetched plot,treats the japanese as a bunch of bureaucratic morons,is full of groan inducing dialogue,and has a scene where Andy Garcia and an uptight japanese detective sing a Ray Charles number, that will have you cringing with embarrassment.But i love the film!There's something about it that brings me back to it time and time again.It's certainly well directed,even though it's far from being Ridley Scott's best film.The film has an impressive look,with some stunning photography,and some memorable japanese locations.The main reason why i love Black Rain, is Michael Douglas,whose performance is quite simply awesome.He takes a really cliche'd character and brings him to life,giving the film more credibility than it deserves.Add some explosive action,and some brutal fight scenes,and you've got a dumb cop film thats hard to beat.
