Black Rain

It wasn't until near the end when the joining ceremony took place that I remembered I'd seen it years ago. Still it's a good film if you like the young films of Michael Douglas. It's a bit dated now, but the story is still a good one. The film moves from the criminal underworld of America to Japan and how the history of criminality in the Japanese hierarchy follows a strict code. Listen out carefully to how the film title is mentioned by the big Yakuza boss and a lot of things start to make sense. There's a couple of good chase scenes, especially the motorbike ride at the end where Douglas gets his man, you knew he would, and how the differences between him (Douglas) and the Japanese liaison officer get settled as they realise how and why each work in their very different ways to bring justice. Even dated as I said (it's 20yrs old) still worth a watch, so enjoy.
