Rising Sun (1993)


At the offices of a Japanese corporation, during a party, a woman, who's evidently a professional mistress, is found dead, apparently after some rough sex.

Convoluted whodunnit with a sloppy plot, mildly entertaining.


On second view: badly dated and really not that entertaining.

Halliwell (no star): "Turgid thriller, revealing paranoid feelings about the Japanese in America but not much else to engage the interest."

Maltin **1/2: "Strppied-down version of Michael Crichton's detailed and controverial novel (adapted by Crichton and Kaufman) is alterbately compelling, confusing, obvious, and silly, with credibility strained to the breaking point."
