Rising Sun movie comments

Date: 2008-02-03 10:38:01 User: Adeen Perez "Rising sun" is clearly "an actor movie". My definition of an actor movie is this: it's a movie people are dying to see mostly/only because of the great, gifted and well-known actors and a movie that basically works because of those recognized actors. Another example would be, let's say, James Mangold's "Cop land". Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, Robert Patrick, Michael Rapaport - all appearing in a one otherwise quite basic thriller. Of course it's true marvelous cast alone can't save a film if everything else stinks. Luckily "Rising sun" includes a good, entertaining and exciting script and a nice story with lots of surprises. I'm still pretty sure it would be a film that's very easy to forget without the fine actors. They are the force that keeps everything else working. Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes in the leading roles are quite amusing and I have to admit, most interesting pair. Naturally everybody wants to see if they got any screen chemistry. Certainly it's also always very nice to enjoy the uncontested talents of great men like Harvey Keitel and Steve Buscemi - even if the film isn't the biggest highlight of their careers. Ray Wise is pretty terrific in a significant role as Senator Morton - even though every time I see his crooked face it only makes me think of Leland Palmer - his peculiar character in the television hit series "Twin peaks". So by all means, watch Philip Kaufman's "Rising sun". I know you want to.   You have to register to leave a comment...   Back to the Rising Sun movie download page
