When an escort girl is found dead in the offices of a Japanese company in Los Angeles, detectives Web Smith and John Connor act as liaison between the company's executives and the investigating cop Tom Graham.
At the offices of a Japanese corporation, during a party, a woman, who's evidently a professional mistress, is found dead, apparently after some rough sex. A police detective, Web Smith is called in to investigate but before getting there, he gets a call from someone who instructs him to pick up John Connor, a former police Captain and expert on Japanese affairs. When they arrive there Web thinks that everything is obvious but Connor tells him that there's a lot more going on.
It&#39;s obviously big-budget and well constructed, but the convoluted plot and epic two-hour duration cruel this Japanese-flavoured thriller that stars Sean Connery as an emeritus captain and specialist in Oriental custom, called in to assist the investigation of a murder in a foreign-owned corporation that is apparently concealing information to contain the scandal. Wesley Snipes is the younger brash detective who learns from Connery that there&#39;s more than one way to skin a cat when the cat isn&#39;t being co-operative.<br/><br/>Tia Carrera co-stars in a fringe role as a visual editing specialist, brought into the investigation when it becomes apparent that CCTV footage of the incident has been doctored. Ray Wise (&quot;Twin Peaks&quot;) plays a corrupt political candidate caught up in the affair, and Harvey Keitel, Stan Shaw and Mako all have significant supporting roles.<br/><br/>Some lighthearted moments (Connery dispatches a couple of minders after he&#39;s manhandled and there&#39;s a running joke about Snipes&#39; nickname of &#39;Cohai&#39; akin to a trainee) punctuate what at times becomes little more than a forensic investigation of the CCTV DVD, such is the time dedicated to analysing its contents (and apparent omissions). Not only does the sun rise, but it will also set before you&#39;ve finished watching this epic, though it offers an interesting cultural slant, can&#39;t justify the mammoth run-time.
I have not seen this since it was first releases when I was a teenager. I remembered liking it, and I have a soft spot for old Sean Connery so gave it another go when it was on TV.<br/><br/>Plot In A Paragraph: During a party at the United States offices of a Japanese corporation, a woman is found dead, apparently after a violent sexual encounter. Police Detectives Web Smith (Wesley Snipes) and John Connor(Sean Connery), a former police Captain and expert on Japanese affairs, are sent to act as liaison between the Japanese and the investigating officer, Smith&#39;s former partner Tom Graham (Harvey Kietel).<br/><br/>Whilst it was not as good as I remember Sean Connery does what you would expect of him in his mentor role, and he does it well. Wesley Snipes was a solid reliable actor in the early to mid nineties, and here is no exception. Whilst Harvey Keitel rarely disappoints and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa does a fine job as Eddie Sakamura, a powerful man who may or may not be mixed up in it all. I always enjoy seeing Mako on screen. Tia Carrere has a small role, while Steve Buscemi has a smaller one as the aptly named Willy &#39;the Weasel&#39; Wilhelm.<br/><br/>My one complaint was an unnecessary romance between Snipes and Carrere at the end of the movie.
A wasted effort with a limp storyline that fails to do Michael Crichton's book justice.
