Director Ridley Scott's international crime thriller stars Michael Douglas as Mike Conklin, a New York detective under investigation for corruption. When yakuza hit man Sato (Yusaku Matsuda) kills two American mobsters in New York, he's extradited to Osaka to face trial, with Conklin and Charlie Vincent (Andy Garcia) as his escorts. Mistakenly turning over their prisoner to yakuza disguised as police, Conklin and Vincent realize, after running down some blind alleys, that they have no chance of finding Sato in the unfamiliar city and enlist the services of Japanese desk cop Masahiro "Mas" Masumoto (Ken Takakura). While relaxing with Mas at a karaoke bar, the cops also get information on the world of the yakuza from Joyce Kinglsey (Kate Capshaw), a high-class bargirl. As they continue the search for Sato, the scrupulous, methodical, and civilized style of Japanese police work rubs the improvisational, rule-breaking Americans the wrong way. But when Vincent is murdered, Mas and Conklin realize that success will come only through a blending of investigative and cultural styles. The almost impenetrably sooty, neon-saturated city of Osaka is superbly photographed by future director Jan de Bont.

Hodnotenia a recenzie

What an awful film - very difficult to feel sympathetic towards any protagonists and the baddies were too hammed-up. The motorbike scene at the start was obviously going to feature as a reprise later on. A mess.

Great story, great acting & an ending that always brings a tear of joy, I have watched this many times over & will again. Rent it!!!

It is one of the best international crime thriller film I have seen. It is a masterpiece and hats of to Ridley Scott for making this film. The storyline and the whole concept was just amazing. This is one of my top 5 movies
