Rising Sun (1993)

Recommended Posts

This 1993 film, adapted from the Michael Crichton novel, is one that hasn't aged well as all and is one of my least favourite films ever. It features one of the least compatible action hero pairings in the form of Wesley Snipes and Sean Connery and with its theme of Japan posing an economic threat, has some very strong racist and sexist undertones. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, best known as Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat, plays yet another stereotypical Asian character.

At the time it was considered director Philip Kaufman's weakest effort, until Twisted starring Ashley Judd sealed the deal in 2004.
