Cons: Little difficult to understand Japanese actors at times
Minor Updates 2003
Why am I mesmerized by a hauntingly surreal film? I first saw “Black Rain” shortly after its release in 1989. For some reason, I couldn't get enough of it and bought the movie when it came out on...

Pros: Stylish and fast-paced. Ridley Scott
Cons: Michael Douglas and his hair.
Black Rain is master-director Ridley Scott’s 1989 offering. Those that have enjoyed Scott’s style in such films as Blade Runner, Alien and Gladiator will no doubt enjoy the feel of Black Rain – an East meets West, cops versus organized crime thriller...

Pros: Scott, Douglas, Matsuda.
Cons: Nothing significant for me.
Black Rain stars Michael Douglas, Ken Takakura, Yusaku Matsuda, Andy Garcia, Tomisaburo Wakayama and Kate Capshaw. Michael Douglas stars as Nick Conklin, a kind of dark, New York City police officer, who is under suspicion of being dirty. He and his...

Pros: A well directed movie, good action and somewhat light subjects to start a good reflection on more profound issues.
Cons: This is not a mindmelting movie. It is more for fun than anything else, and this shouldn't be a con, but you should be aware of it.
In a beautiful, exotic, strange culture, two New York cops have to find their way to recover their dignity.
After arresting a Yakuza (Japanese Mafia) hitman, two NYPD detectives (Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia, the first accused of being a...

Black Rain……..Loved The Music………
I must say that although this film was made in 1989 it remains in my top 3 all time movies. If I ever read a tv guide and notice that it’s on I will watch it again. I think in total I have watched it...

Pros: Good portrayal of multi-cultural interaction
Cons: The plot was a little thin
Set in my hometown of Osaka, Japan, this movie brought back many memories of my childhood. They got all the details right, like the dump trucks with the flashing lights all over them, the guys riding in packs on their motorcycles, the Japanese social...

Pros: Great action and a suspenseful story, very entertaining for such a long movie.
Cons: few
I saw this movie when it came on USA's Super Action Tuesday. I wasn't sure what it would be about since it looked so old, but I found myself staying up to watch the entire movie. Black Rain is an entertaining movie full of subplots. It has just about...

Pros: Douglas, great acting, action suspense, oh my!
Cons: 1989
Michael Douglas is one of my favorite movie stars. In Black Rain, he plays a cop chasing down some japanese murderers. He does a great job acting in the movie. The movie itself is great. Great action, suspense, and comedy all rolled into one. Andy...

Pros: Excellent fast paced
Cons: none
I first saw this movie in the theater after seeing the previews, as a long time Michael Douglas fan, this was a no-brainer to watch. I am not going to give the plot away.
However nothing could prepare me for the pace that Ridley Scott {Aliens}...
