A guilty pleasure if ever there was one, Black Rain is a ridiculously entertaining thriller by Ridley Scott (Alien), starring Michael Douglas as a tough New York cop who--along with his partner (Andy Garcia)--goes to Japan to deliver a local mobster. When the latter escapes, Douglas's brand of gonzo crime fighting rubs his Japanese hosts the wrong way. Slick, mechanistic, and absurd, the film is all surface action and attitude (not to mention Scott's incredibly busy, trademark art direction); and one can get lost in the sheer indulgence of it. However, if you can buy Douglas as an iconoclastic lawman, you can buy anything else here, including the notion of Kate Capshaw as a blonde escort highly desired by Japanese businessmen. --Tom Keogh

I love it! September 30, 2008
My favorite character is the villian (Yusaku Matsuda). His life story is very interesting. He did a great job in this film. It doesn't hurt that he is very attractive. A real bad boy!

Holds up over the years September 28, 2008
I remember going to see this film in the theater.

I think it holds up over the years.

Great to look at, well acted.

1 thing I have NEVER liked about it is the Andy Garcia death scene. Just to look at, not realistic. For film only.
And, what started this story. IF Michael & Anthony were in this restaurant WHY DID THEY NOT STOP THE KILLINGS BEFORE THEY HAPPENED? They were police & had guns.

Still can't figure out little scene at the beginning of the film. WHY TAKE YOUR KID TO SCHOOL IN THE RAIN ON A MOTORCYCLE? Can't the kid get sick?

Good extras on this special edition DVD.
BUT, WHY A PLAIN JANE SILVER DVD? This film was great to look at with both the Japan & New York playing key roles in the film.

Film has the Ridley style. 1 of my favorites of his.

A very different story but very good, I particularly liked the sound track on the HD DVD, can be purchased for as little as $9.99 new, well worth it

I LIKE THIS FLICK August 9, 2008
I'm a Michael Douglas fan and have spent quite some time in Japan. This movie has a lot of action to hold your interest, represents the Japan atmosphere well and has a great sound track and music. What more can you ask for?
