Ridley Scott is the director of this action crime thriller. Starring Michael Douglas as Nick Conklin a veteran cop who is under suspicion of been on the take, he pulls off the bad ass role to perfection throughout. A long side is Andy Garcia as Charlie Vincent a young cop on his way up. They get involved in a gang war between members of the Yakuza. After arresting Sato (Yusako Matsuda) they are ordered to escort him back to Japan. This action packed jaunt through the streets of Japan is an example of how good Ridley Scott is. With some great cinematography by Jan De Bont and superbly crafted music from Hans Zimmer. What's not to like... great roles from Ken Takakura as Masahiro and the legend that was Tomisaburô Wakayama (ninja assassin) as Sugai. I love this film and would class it as Michael Douglas's best film. Well worth watching if you haven't and a good shelf filler if ya have.
