Review of Rising Sun

Rising Sun (1993)
7/10
Time-Pass!
27 January 2012
Based on Crichton's novel of the same name, 'Rising Sun' is a Time-Pass fare, the doesn't falter as far as quick entertainment is concerned. The Fast-Pacing is spot-on & The Performances work!

'Rising Sun' Synopsis: When a professional escort is found dead, apparently after a violent sexual encounter, Police Detective Web Smith & John Connor, a former police Captain and expert on Japanese affairs, are sent to investigate.

'Rising Sun' is good stuff. It's Entertaining, Progressive & Fast-Paced. The Screenplay by Crichton & Michael Backes, is truly engaging & well-written. Philip Kaufman has Directed the film well. Cinematography is eye-filling. Editing is crisp. Art Design is fair.

Performance-Wise: Sir Sean Connery & Wesley Snipes make superb screen-heroes & share an infectious chemistry throughout. Harvey Keitel is in excellent form. Tia Carrere does her bit well. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa is effective. Ray Wise is decent. Steve Buscemi is as usual.

On the whole, 'Rising Sun' is Entertaining.
