Rising Sun is a slick 90s thriller with Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes that delivers solid mystery and intrigue, even if it's marred by some dated cultural politics. If you're in the mood for a competent corporate conspiracy whodunit with good pacing and charismatic leads, it's worth your time tonight.

Plot

When a prostitute is found dead in a Los Angeles skyscraper occupied by a large Japanese corporation, detectives John Connor and Web Smith are called in to investigate. Although Connor has previous experience working in Japan, cultural differences make their progress difficult until a security disc showing the murder turns up. Close scrutiny proves the disc has been doctored, and the detectives realize they're dealing with a cover-up as well.
