A guilty pleasure if ever there was one, IBlack Rain/I is a ridiculously entertaining thriller by Ridley Scott (IAlien/I), 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. I--Tom Keogh/I

Product Description
Paramount Black Rain (Widescreen, Special Collector's Edition) Blu-raybrFrom Oscar(R)-nominated director Ridley Scott ("Gladiator") comes this stylish, star-powered crime thriller that crackles with heart-pounding action and taut suspense. Academy Award(R)-winner Michael Douglas is electrifying as Nick Conklin, a rough-and-tumble NYC detective under investigation for corruption. Ordered to escort a cold-blooded killer named Sato back to his native Japan.Nick and his partner Charlie (Oscar(R)-nominee Andy Garcia) unwittingly deliver Sato into the handsof his own gang. With assistance from a by-the-book Japanese cop (Ken Takakura) and a beautiful club hostess (Kate Capshaw), the American cops chase Sato through Osaka's seamy underworld, as Nick fights to recapture something as important as the criminal he lost: his honor.

 PRETTY DARN GOOD November 3, 2008
David R. Martine
I rented this on tape years ago, and boy what a difference the blu-ray disc makes. Good picture, pretty good sound, lots of action and the relationship between Micheal and the Japanese "detective"? stole the show, especially the last two scenes. It was great.
Directorial and cinematographic brilliance by Scott, with wonderful cross-cultural observations October 17, 2008
Avocadoland (California)
"Black Rain" provides a showcase for the directorial and cinematographic brilliance of Ridley Scott - whose love for the evocative nature of wet and shining surfaces owes more to Monet than to the fetishistic excesses of a photographer such as Helmut Newton. Gritty, wonderful "New York Cop" performance by Michael Douglas, matched by his partner Andy Garcia, with a perfect Japanese counterpart in Detective Masahira Masimoto of the Osaka Prefecture Police Department, played by Ken Takakura. Very nicely done cross-cultural references to the Japanese sense of group identity and loyalty, contrasted to the American ethos of "radical 'Cowboy' individualism." Lovely score by Hans Zimmer, looking forward to his work in "The Last Samurai."
I love it! September 30, 2008
M. Randall (Georgia)
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. br / br /I think it holds up over the years. br / br /Great to look at, well acted. br / br /1 thing I have NEVER liked about it is the Andy Garcia death scene. Just to look at, not realistic. For film only. br /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. br / br /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? br / br /Good extras on this special edition DVD. br /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. br / br /Film has the Ridley style. 1 of my favorites of his. br /
