Review of Rising Sun (1993) by Teresa S — 05 Nov 2010
Michael Crichton's best selling novel comes to the screen in this action mystery suspense with lots of humor thrown in! Japanese - American international high-stakes political homicide with Harvey Keitel playing a lead role in the dual Japanese/American homicide investigation. Full of twists & turns.
A somewhat younger Wesley Snipes, Sean Connery & a long list of fabulous supporting actors co-star. Who are my personal favorite supporting actors in this murder mystery movie? Harvey Keitel& Steve Buscemi . The Japanese businessmen wish to keep an unseemly murder of a young, beautiful American girl hush hush. Of course.... Sean Connery is the senior/expert/fluent Japanese speaking investigator invited into the investi- gation by the Japanese.
Cary- Hiroyuki Tagawa (Mortal Kombat's Emperor Shang Tsung) is the son of a wealthy Japanese businessman, the dead woman's lover AND the #1 murder suspect.
TRIVIA QUESTION FROM FLIXSTER: Who is the author whose books have been adapted into films such as "Jurassic Park", "Sphere", "Congo" and "Rising Sun". He also co-wrote the screenplay for "Twister" and directed Sean Connery in "The Great Train Robbery"??.
