Plot
Summary: At a celebration over the completed
joint venture between a Japanese company and a US
defence contractor a young woman is found strangled.
A retired foreign liaison with expertise on Japanese
culture is called in to help the current liaison overcome
resistance from the Japanese, who are actively trying
to mislead the investigation. As the liaisons get
closer to the truth, political pressure is applied
to get them off the case, and they must race against
time to resolve it.
Comments:
Brilliant
example of Japanese corporation trading. This film
closely resembles the book and gives a brilliant portrayal
of Japanese 'Keiretsu' company trading as just how
deep and nasty things can get when a major player
wants to move in. Connery is fantastic as the detective
who used to give in Japan and understands 'Nihondo'
(Japanese ways). The character Peter Smith has been
changed to 'Wes Smith' although I cannot understand
why? Maybe 'Wes' is more trendy than Peter...
There are some excellent descriptions of Japanese
culture and the Taiko (Japanese Drummers) are very
good. I highly recommend this film to anyone with
an interest in Japan or Japanese culture. 10/10
Scene
Description:
Shelley Michelle having a guy eat sushi off her nude
body before we get a great view of him dipping Playboy
Playmate Tylyn John's amazing nipple into some soy sauce
and licking it off. We then see Shelley Michelle laying
fully nude on the ground as some cops break into the
room and Tylyn John, also fully nude, jumps on a guy's
back and we get some nice views of her breasts and butt
in the process.
