Any of you seen this Ridley Scott movie starring Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia? I saw it once about five years ago. Not one of Scott's best as a director, but not one of his worst either. It's decent enough. Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review: Black Rain (1989) - 2.5 out of 4 stars"Tough, violent, foulmouthed action yarn about street-worn N.Y.C. cop and his partner who are supposed to deliver a Japanese mobster to cops in Osaka--then wind up pursuing him on his own turf. Too long, too predictable at times, but slick and entertaining. Super 35."

Michael Douglas gave his best Martin Riggs impression.

has a dark wet blade runner kind of aesthetic. That’s what comes to mind about the visual style.

I remember liking it at the time. I don't think I ever rewatched it.

.I was getting a little uneasy during the middle third of this picture and was already writing my review in my head (led by Douglas giving a one-note performance), but final half-hour turned that completely around. There is a ve-e-e-ery tense scene between Nick and a Yakuza godfather. When the scene ended, I said “Wow” to myself. This is followed by an exciting action finale. Stick with it to the end. You will like this film. Ridley Scott did it again.
