Michael Crichton's xenophobic bestseller gets adapted for the big screen and it's amusingly dated in regards to its 'clash of civilizations' approach to American-Japanese relations but entertaining thanks to the unlikely pairing of Wesley Snipes and Sean Connery. There's something about the original James Bond dropping f-bombs and choking out bouncers that's too good to write off. Harvey Keitel is the only weak link as a histrionically racist LAPD cop. There are some nicely done plot twists and the central mystery is actually pretty intriguing stuff.
