Black Rain
Douglas is a mildly corrupt cop (take it, of course, but he also races motorcycles to earn a few bucks to work), but we should forgive it because it to pay alimony and child (despite the fact that the wife of to be much better). While closing in the internal affairs of our pal Nick gets involved in the Yakuza gang war - as he and partner Charlie (Andy Garcia), have lunch, not less.
Chase derives Nike bags and a Japanese felon. Japan wants it back, so he and Charlie jet in Osaka, where they were to hand him over to the police … or rather, that the killer of pals who flashes a phony badges. Oh no! Before you know, Nick is marauding its way around Japan (jurisdiction is just a state of mind, it seems) and sacks gangsters left and right.
Shot in late-’80 s infatuation with everything Japanese, Black Rain is a bit gloomy on the outcome, but artistic Blade Runner, taking a similar setting and shoehorning in an awkward cop drama. How inconvenient? In the third act of the film we discover - actually nothing - that the entire film revolves around the counterfeiting scheme, which involved an offender as a kind of revenge for the fall of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. I am still trying to get my mind around that one.
The rest of the film consists of the usual chases, shootouts, and the Ugly American vignettes, with the payment of overhead on geisha (Kate Capshaw), and Japanese police, which is fast becoming an interlocutor in the nick, even after Nike in the antics make him pause. Something tells me the police system, which does not work well Thus, in New York, or Japan. Fortunately, the atmosphere becomes you a long way, and slicing Garcia with a samurai sword. Watching these two guys bumble through their investigation (as a time to understand and adapt literally dropped to their knees, and all problems have been solved through violence) in equal measure, absurdly precious.
