Michael Douglas (Nick) and Andy Garcia (Charlie) chase and try to apprehend a killer who flees to Japan...to try to bring him back to justice. Michael Douglas (as Nick) the NY police office does whatever it takes to bring the "untouchable" Japanese Yakuza member to face the crimes he has committed in the movie. The heartless execution, the bike chase,the stake out, all the way through the final fight scene posts this movie as one of my favorite of all time movie epics. Get this...it is unforgettable.By far, (for me) it is (and should be) one of the most necessary genre of your DVD/blueray collection ESPECIALLY if you have NEVER been to Japan. Truly for me a timeless classic. :-)

This film is essentially one big crushing disappointment from a director who is capable of so much more. The classic loose cannon cop (played by the gipsy-like Michael Douglas) and his cleaner cut partner have to escort a dangerous yakuza prisoner back to Japan. Upon arrival they immediately hand him over to fake cops and then spend the rest of the film trying to atone for their mistake.

Pretty undeserving of the 'noir' tag that got me interested in this film in the first place, it just felt like an average cop thriller with forgettable locations, scenes, characters and dialogue that was so contrived that it was almost embarassing to watch at times. Could've been the greatest cop film ever made! It certainly hasn't ages well either.

Rating : 6/10
