Product Description:
WHEN A PRISONER THEY ARE ESCORTING BACK TO JAPAN ESCAPES, TWO NEW YORK COPS FIND THEMSELVES EMBROILED IN THE VIOLENT, NIGHTMARISH WORLD OF OSAKA.
Amazon.com essential video:
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

What a stunning display of the beauty of high-definition. Most Ridley Scott films are visual extravaganzas and the Blu-ray treatment here is quite special. The sheen and polish of Scott's urban landscapes is a sight to behold. Black Rain is almost like a neo Tokyo, anime version of Blade Runner, only filmed in Osaka! It's pretty amazing just how much the look of Blade Runner was influenced by Asian metropolises and then Blade Runner influenced the look of a lot of anime in return. Black Rain is total ...

Black Rain is one of those films that gets under your skin. Top-notch acting, and just enough of a skewed plot to really twist it up. Transfer is extremely good-looking for as old a film as it is, and the sound is excellent as well. I recommend this to Michael Douglas and Ridley Scott fans. Enjoy!

GREAT FILM! ONE OF DIRECTOR RIDLEY SCOTT'S BEST,MICHAEL DOUGLAS GIVES A GREAT PERFORMANCE IN THE ACTION THILLER,ANDY GARCIA IS IN HALF OF THIS FILM UNTIL HIS CHARACTER IS KILLED OFF,KIND OF DISAPPOINTING BUT IT'S A GREAT FILM TO WATCH!

Black Rain stars detective Michael Douglass as Nick with his partner Andy Garcia as Charlie. They're both New York cops. Right from the beginning of the film we see Nick motorcyle racing in the streets. So we know he's somewhat of a wild cop. After that he has an internal affairs interegation on him, and we meet his partner Charlie along the way. There's a nice contrast to the reason he's investigated and the choices he makes later in the film.
Nick and Charlie have their first encounter ... Read More
