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. A police detective, Web Smith is called in to investigate but before getting there, he gets a call from someone who instructs him to pick up John Connor, a former police Captain and expert on Japanese affairs. When they arrive there Web thinks that everything is obvious but Connor tells him that there's a lot more going on.
When an escort girl is found dead in the offices of a Japanese company in Los Angeles, detectives Web Smith and John Connor act as liaison between the company's executives and the investigating cop Tom Graham.
Sex. Murder. Cover-ups. Three staples of a great murder mystery, and that's what "Rising Sun" offers. Of course, it spins them together in a story that's different than every other story of this ilk, and that's what makes this one so much fun to watch. It's not perfect, but it's a solid entry.

A young woman has been murdered at the opening gala of a Japanese corporation's new building. Homicide detective Webb Smith (Wesley Snipes) is called in to investigate. Also on hand as his partner is retired captain John Connor (Sean Connery), a man who is known for his intimate knowledge of Japanese culture. As they work to solve the case, they realize that not everything is what it seems.

I love a good mystery just as much as the next guy. Seeing the pieces fall into place, watching the heroes get closer to the killer, it's all great. For the most part, "Rising Sun" is ably told, although some of the minute details (that aren't so minute) are slightly confusing.

Apparently, Michael Crichton imagined Connery playing John Conner as he was writing the book, and that's readily apparent. Connery, an actor of great screen presence, dominates the role (and the film). Wesley Snipes is not as good, but not bad. Caro Hiroyuki-Tagawa is adequate as the main suspect who knows more than what he's saying. Tia Careere is great in a small but important role as the tech support girl, Jingo Asakuma.

The film's look is great, and it's competently directed. However, the pseudo-flashback approach doesn't really work, and the depictions of Japanese culture are heavy-handed, to the point where it almost becomes insulting.

Still, this is a good and engaging mystery. This movie has two things going for it: Wesley Snipes, before he went all vampire-zombie, and Sean Connery, who's always a welcome presence. Connery's cop character is evidently Japan's roving ambassador of ass-kissing adoration. Infuriatingly smug and omniscient, he's there not so much to investigate the central murder as tell us all, through Snipes' chronically fascinated everyman, just how wildly superior are Japanese culture and business practices compared to hick-town U.S.A. They will RULE THE WORLD in Toyotas, listening to Sony's, wearing expensive Kenzo cologne. Hmm.

Michael Crichton, who helped adapt the screenplay from his novel, was a doctor AND attorney. He made movies. He wrote bestseller after bestseller - not one of them above the quality of potboiler, but all moneymakers. He was a daunting overachiever. But psychic? Seer? Prophet of the socioeconomic future? Well... in that, he flopped. "Rising Sun" was released in 1993, the year Japan's economy plunged into a 10-year economic tank from which it still hasn't fully recovered. In that time, South Korea, China, even Taiwan have emerged as Asian powerhouses - and, in the region as well as globally, are stiff competition for the sons of heaven. So it goes.

But aside from all the 'future shock' nonsense, the murder mystery itself is pinned to vast, vast conspiracies run by deep-pockets Japanese corporations on the American west coast. Any plot inconsistencies or unbelievable coincidences are written off to the nefarious puppet-masters controlling everything but jackrabbit population. It's... turgid, routine stuff, and, ultimately, ridiculous and unbelievable. The car chases are lame, too.

Another creepy element: The main murder at issue takes place during a session of conference-table fornication; it's all recorded on video disk and during the course of the investigation, we're "treated" to it about 37 times. Can we say "voyeuristic"? A little! That's probably no accident, since Crichton wrote a low-budget independent about that very subject in the early '70s called "Extreme Close-Up". It was a... thing... with him... evidently. If it's not your own particular fetish, you'll feel your skin begin to crawl. I found it pretty entertaining, as well as provocative in some of its comments about contemporary life.
