The moment that really bothered me whenever I thought of Rising Sun is when Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes
were fighting with Japanese henchmen and stopped themselves early in the middle of the fight to walk away.
This just does not happen in any film. Watching it again, I realize now a diversion had been created, but whatever.
That's exactly what Rising Sun is to me: a big whatever. I prefer Black Rain
more because of the gritty edge.
Walking on water, Sean Connery isn't bad and makes things interesting. Wesley Snipes is bland and may
have been miscast but has a nice one with Alexandra Powers during the most powerful moment of attempted seduction.
All in all, Rising Sun offers something for everyone whether they are into business, Sean Connery, Japanese culture,
or kinky sex.
